Still cant make up my mind on it
Whether to spend the money or not
I guess.....wait a while first then
Oh well, got reminded that I went for an assistant job the other time
Hahaha!
Got invited to Gladys's studio photog at Joo Chiat the other time
Well........it was really an eye-opener
Learnt a lot of new stuff just in a few hours time
The shadows that were cast on the subject
It's awesome to say the least
It's not just those plain dark black that type
But something that just draws your eyes to the subject itself
Got to try out wireless remote shooting, sync flashes
soft-boxes, hair-dryer effect, backdrop selection and many more
Definitely cool stuff!
This was taken by Jason
The lead photog at Ink&Light
I thought the lighting and "feel" was there
Quite good for a demonstration har?
;)
Gladys was explaining her concept to Jason
And how it could be/should be done
It was interesting to see where Gladys's ideas come from
There were sample photos for everyone to look at
And I can see where the theme of the day was going
With her inspirations drawn more from fashion shoots that side
Simple and yet complicated to do at the same time
With the make-up, lighting, clothings and etc
After meddling with the lighting from the soft-boxes
Trying out the different kind of flashes
Positioning of the subject (or model in this case)
Toggling with the main camera settings
(my D90 with the 50mm in this case)
Jason decided that we should use the direct sunlight (?) setting
And he helped us fix it so that we could see for ourselves
How the pictures are gonna turn out
And after the make-up was done
Finally proceed to the actual shoot
This are some of the shots which I thought were the nicer ones
(Of cuz got the permission from Gladys before posting them up
if not seems like some copyright infringement)
This was done with the hair-dryer effect
Check out the hair!
"Smooth" is the keyword
Revealing the ear-ring and the focus on the red butterfly hairclip
Initially we thought it was quite over-kill
But the photo turned out well to our liking
$2 straw mat from Daiso
LOL!
"Daiso can get anything and everything!"
Now I know where Gladys go shopping then
:)
Nearly have crampy hands holding up the straw mat for them
Not so easy as you think ya?
I like this shot a lot
Like the moment it appear on the LCD preview screen
You wanna click on the "Like It" button
A closer look at the photo and I thought the make-up was gorgeous
Once again, there's something in the eyes
This kind of up-close portrait shots, besides the face
I think its always the eyes that draw a lot of attention
This was also another great shot
The kimono dress layered with the sakura flower patterns
Plus the shadows at the sides
Nice!
Like a movie poster
Another personal favourite too
This was good too
Got "feel"
Captured the theme
Which was sadness of a beautiful geisha
Or something along the line
But definitely got "feel"
The final photo for the shoot
Adelyn & Gladys
After 100+ RAW shots
We called it a day
Didnt have enough time to get to the 2nd theme
So that's it till the other day then
The Cast
Photog: Gladys
Model: Adelyn
Makeup: Klein
Hairstylist: Christina
Assisted by: Me & Bruce
Camera: D90 with 50mm prime lens
Klein and Christina were really good
DA ppl are saying the make-up was very beautiful
And of cuz, shooting with 50mm
Learnt that we should do it with f8-11 that kind of stop value
And of cuz shoot in RAW for these kind of studio shots
Adelyn was good with the poses too
And yes, one last thing
The circle line is damn power!
Dakota was like.......max close to Joo Chiat area
