(That’s our stylist Krista at work above…)

We turned our studio into an art gallery set yesterday. Pretty simple since our floors and walls are already white. Added track lighting from the Home Depot store and blank artist canvas from the local art store. We chose to keep the “paintings” blank so that any client using the image could easily drop-in their own artwork. With the shapes and shadows already in place, we will have saved a client valuable retouching time.

Walking, and walking some more…

In addition to portraits and looking at the art, I wanted to convey a sense of motion. The first frame is with a high shutter speed and studio strobes to freeze the model’s walk. The second frame was shot at about 1/4 second and natural light to capture just enough motion the blur the model but not enough so lose the shape of person. I discovered that if I clicked the shutter right when she put her foot down, that the foot would stay in focus while the rest of her body would appear in motion. Learn something every day!
