How times have changed

I was surfing the web (old term for "web-browsing" get it) and i come across a video of how todays kids reacting to old cameras.

Immediately the video got my attention and I started to watch it.
Here is the video, enjoy.

Light Setup #4

Here I will be showing one of the light setup of the I did for Laurence. 

In that shoot I've change the backdrop and light setup 3 times.

This setup works with the photo I'll be showing in the Read More section of this post.

The octobox is just a fill light, if not it is just chancing the tone of the shades, its 1.25 stop less than the main light.
The strobe with 9" reflector is there to cast a shadow at his feet, giving more dimension to the photo.

Traveling via Photography

As I am Shooting and Assisting more and more photo shoots, Locations are getting bigger and better.

You get the enjoy your job when it is taking you to places. 

Here is what the view was like at Dover - Kent. 

When I saw this view, I had to find time while the model was chancing, get my Pentax 6x7(Old One) and capture it, and thats what I exactly did.

If I had a Largeformat, a Sinar or Linhof and the time I could have shoot 3 Films: 1 BW,  1 Colour Negative (Kodak Ektar), 1 colour transparency (Fuji Velvia)

Camera: Pentak 6X7 + 105mm 2.4mm 

Film: Fomapan 400Asa @400

Processed in Kodak HC-110 Dilution B

Scanned With Epson Perfection V750 PRO

Note: Funny thing I realise after posting this Photograph that Blogger doesn't respect the Black and white Photos. This photo looks bit sepia-ish  where the original file which I've uploaded is Black and White. When I put the two same images next to each other it is very easy to see how the photos colour change on web. 

Light Setup #3

Here is the setup I used for the Studio part of the Nue Punk Photoshoot. 

The Backdrop colour is SealGrey
2 Large umbrellas and 1 large Octobox.

Black panels are there to kill the spill light of the umbrellas and the white panel is simply redirecting the light from octobox, the distance of the white panel is important, if you want to leave a little tonal difference in shades.

If I had £5 every time I wrote here that I will update the blog more frequent . . .  I would have £15.

Well I am writing now and I got my father to thank me. He made a phone call where we discussed business and my daily life, then he started to yell at me because I have not been posing much in my own blog. Funny huh,  getting scolded by your dad over the phone at age 24.

But Thank You DAD.

Here is what I've photographed while ago.

London from St.Paul's Cathedral

It's been some time I haven't write on this blog and I decide to write back again. I will not give any excuse like: I was busy, I could not find time or anything like that. I will just say, I was lazy, I told my self "Bah I will just make a post tomorrow" and look its July 2014.

I don't take much landscapes or any non fashion related photo but sometimes when I see something looks nice I just snap a photo.

So my sister was visiting me and I had the chance to climb the St.Paul's Cathedral "again" I had my trusty F100 with 50mm 1.4 and the cheapest film i found in SliverPrint, Fomapan 400 ASA, and I snapped a photo, processed in my kitchen and scanned it in my living room.
