Shoot me like "Terry" - 6.1

This photo wasn't in the category of Shoot me like "terry" however, as I started snapping the photos I noticed that Eren (the model) was getting bit too confortable infront of the camera, so I didn't say anything until snapped a photo which I found interesting, then I got back to art-directing again.

Here is the result, which reminds me of i-D

Camera: Nikon D3X + Nikkor 24-70mm 

Photographer: Bugra Ergil (Bruce) . . . ME 

Makeup artist: Laura Kate Rzemieniecka

Model: Eren Gencler

Beauty Shoot

This time we did it and we did it good. 

Here is a sneak-peek of the photoshoot I did with my reliable makeup artist friend Laura Kate Rzemieniecka. This was a portfolio shoot and we all enjoyed the shoot, thanks to Laura and two bottels of vine she brought with her. Eren and Laura did a great job here and I think this trio will do more shoots together in future. 

Also this was one of the first shoot I did in my studio. 

Exposure: 1/125 sec at f/16 ISO 160

Camera: Nikon D3X with Nikkor 24-70mm 

Photographer: Bugra Ergil (Bruce) ME
Makeup: Laura Kate Rzemieniecka
Model: Eren Gencler

Why did I keep the ISO 160 but not 100 ? Simple I was also shooting with the Beast Mamiya RZ67 ProII and I had Kodak Portra 160ASA loaded in it so 1st I wanted to compare Mamiya to Nikon 2nd I was lazy to recalculate exposure 2 times every photograph or every change.

So my Mamiya RZ67 proII VS Nikon D3X photos will be coming very soon, stay tuned! 

Hilarious Sigma Lens review.

When I saw this hilarious sigma lens review I could not stop laughing and I wanted to share with any one who comes to this blog.

Shoot me like "Terry" - 6

Aaww yea long time I haven't uploaded one of these. 

After a nice successful beauty shoot with Laura Kate Rzemieniecka which had some interesting snack and 2 bottles of vine, I followed the tradition of documenting the day with a snap of the lovely model Eren. So I popped my "TerryFlash" on and start snapping.

As usual I told her to be her self and also said show your self as you want to show yourself in front of the camera.

Also I forgot to mention, on this shoot I used D3X and Mamiya RZ67 ProII loaded with kodak portra ISO160.
So in due time I will post comparison images of D3X to Mamiya RZ67 ProII, which will be like a Film Vs Digital. 

Practicing Photoshop #3

Photoshop is one of the most important program/tool in fashion photography.
Even that the model, clothes, location, light etc . . . is perfect we still do photoshop, and since I started to work with people who are looking for unnatural results (by unnatural I mean, different colour than the actual image) I started experimenting in photoshop.

Here is one of the photographs I worked on, in photoshop. I hope its better than the last one . . . This has taken me two hours or so.

I know my colour manipulation skills are incredibly bad, but as my father once told me "practice makes perfect" and I hope to reach there soon. . .
