Shoe

Negs came back from our Shoe project today. We had to use large format camera, which as it turns out, are not as scary as they look!

The brief was to produce 2 images. The first one was to apply camera movements and a small aperture to acheive full depth of field and sharpness throughout. The second to apply camera movements and a wide apperture to achieve a very shallow depth of field.

I scanned in my negs as soon as I got them and this is how they turned out.

Shallow DOF:

Could probably use a bit of retouching, but I'm quite happy with them. Does this attract and hold your attention for longer than a split second?

Medium Format Fun

So I finally got my colour negs scanned in yesterday. For the shoot I used 4 flash light. 1 soft box and 1 umbrella. 2 lights behind black boards to light up the background, and 2 at the front with the soft box and umbrella. I really enjoyed the high key shoot. Here's a pic.

Lois was an awesome model. I think I'm really beginning to understand flash lighting. Which is awesome. I was pleased with the results, but I'm still not too sure about medium format cameras.. I can't decided if I like them or not...
