I drive by this road almost everyday just to noticed that the scenery is quite different his year and for cause: It’s the coldest Canberra Winter that I know of, since I live here.
I couldn’t resist to the temptation to catch some of the early lights of the day.
What would be a good reason to jump out of the warm bed at 6 in the morning to drive all the way out in the cold, it was -0.5°C on a Saturday morning?
You let me know if the images below are worth the effort.
I packed a few lenses but use the 50mm f/1.7 Calr Zeiss exclusively for these shots.
Last Tuesday, I did the photo shoot for the bridal magazine Your Local Wedding Guide – Canberra Edition and it was a really fun day.
There were 18 wedding gowns from local and interstate designers, to shoot with different backgrounds, at the Hyatt in Canberra. We went from the hall way to the Presidential Suites, passing by the reception area to the Centenary Ballroom…
I would have loved to have an assistant for this shoot. It’s not that it was heavy lighting gears but I was using a massive beauty dish (Mola Setti, polished silver interior), on a boom with a dumb bell sand bag and the strobe was on a power pack: it started being a bit heavy running around on different shooting locations and I think we used all the levels and possible shooting locations.
As usual, we had two lovely models from Canberra: Katie and Nicole. I already did some shoots with Nicole but it was the first time that I shot Katie. She is so gorgeous that I already have plans to shoot her again in a near future.
We also had Zoe Barton to do the make up (www.zbmakeup.com.au) and the gorgeous Bree and Kayla from Pink Diamond Hair (www.pinkdiamondhair.com.au/) to do the …. hair.
I’ve already done some shoots with Zoe and Bree and I would definitely recommend them if you need a make up artist or hair stylist. both have participate in my Project M3 back a couple months ago.
I used a couple of Canon bodies and the Eye-Fi cards that allowed me to wirelessly tranfer images, on the fly, from the camera to the iPad. It is quickly becoming a permanent tool on my shooting sets.
As the photos will be on the next magazine, I can only post a few images from the BTS (behind the scene) of the shoot.
Thanks again to Prestige Publications, publisher of Your Local Wedding Guide, for having chosen NOMAD PHOTOGRAPHY to do their fashion shoot, it’s the third year in a row and it’s getting better and better
Just a teaser to keep you wait till the magazine will be released next year. Enjoy
