Meet Christine .. again.
.
Project 52; Christine
.When I first photographed Christine in Lily Hill Park, she told me her other favourite place is in the kitchen. So we arranged another day to shoot her there.
In the shot above Christine is enjoying a healthy dose of Marks and Engels, not always the kind of books you expect in a kitchen, but very apt for Christine (she is something of an expert on Engels...) The shoot was great fun and very quick to set up; one SB800 shot into a reflecting umbrella, half closed.. (for more info on this little terchnique see my good friend Glyn Dewis' blog - http://glyndewisblog.com/ ).
But sometimes the set up shot is a keeper...

This was the test shot, taken almost from the hip. I obviously had a slower shutter speed as I can remember the shutter lagging during the shot. But the flash, going off at a really high speed, has frozen Christine where it has fallen on her and the dragging of the shutter created a sort of painterly effect which I really like.
Christine has been one of the easiest people to photograph; she was a great sport. Thanks again Christine.
Really like the subtleness of the lighting in these shots Noel; nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,

Thanks Glyn,
ReplyDeletethey were great fun and Christine really got into it. The umbrella was closed down like we did on Saturday and it gave a really subtle look to it...
cheers

Hi Noel, as Glyn's said the light's been nicely controlled here and the quality of it really gives the picture a soft, tranquil and (ironically) 'homely' feel.

David,
ReplyDeletethanks for commenting, I was going for a more subtle feel, as sometimes it is too easy to over cook the lighting.
Noel.
Noel, I LOVE the set up shot! Great motion and focus all in the same shot. Her expression is priceless. Beautiful images.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelley,
ReplyDeletemaybe this goes back to what we said before; when you just do rather than think about it...
