A Fifty Second Peek


Yesterday my friend Matias shot a little bit of video while I was working on the beach. He's no filmmaker, as is obvious from the footage, but it gives a little glimpse into the location and the general vibe for my Punta del Este efforts. I edited it down to some of the more usable bits and by total coincidence the two folks pictured in yesterday's entry are in the video.

I don't normally hold stuff in my hand while shooting but otherwise, there I am acting as coat hanger and picture holder. I had printed out a few examples of my streetstudio work to show folks. The woman had been holding and looking at one of them as she stepped into the space. I took that from her first and then, as you can see in the video, I asked her to take her jacket off and it ended up draped over my arm.

This also marks my You Tube debut. I may be a little late to the party but I'm a still-photographer after all.

Take pictures.

You know I cannot look at a picture without trying to figure out its light setup, and in this video the whole time I looked I didn't see any flashes. Natural light? Fast lens... ?

Woo hoo for youtube (and i think i double posted grrr bloggers new way of doing things)

Pretty neat there dude! Like Shane I always wondered how you do your lighting and the general feel of your shoots. It looks like a blast and a lot of fun (and a lot of work).

are you under a boardwalk? Are you carrying a canopy?

Ya I saw (well heard) your interview on Studio Lighting.net and i think they asked your favorite lighting equipment and you said natural light and a fast lens :D

I guess careful placement of canopy and backdrop can get you such a highkey look. I love em...
