Daisy under the star light

I planned this shoot in a park and we ended up shooting in my backyard under the dark sky of autumn in Canberra.

Daisy Milo is a young and gorgeous model from the UK.

We really had good fun during the shoot and we were lucky enough to have the diva of make up, Dave Reid (www.makeupbydave.com) to style Daisy with hair and … make up.

Scouting

It was a cloudy day when I scouted around The Rocks in Sydney for me next wedding.

Some places around town are natural backdrops for weddings and special events.

I got my old and trustworthy Canon 5D and a Carl Zeiss lens.

Urbaine Glamazones

Une fois n’est pas coutume, cet article est en francais et est relative a une seance photo que j’ai eu la semaine derniere avec deux amies modeles: Rachelle et Emma.

Si vous etes un fidele de mon blog, vous avez du deja vu les articles precedent parlant de ce shoot.

Rien de nouveau ici, si ce n’est la facon d’editer les photo. Ce n’est un secret pour personne, j’aime bien le noir & blanc et j’ai voulu accentue’ le chic et le glamour avec le noir.

Qui a dit que le fshion doit etre chatoyant de couleur avec une tonne de Photoshop? certainement pas moi.

Ces photos ont ete tres legerement retouchees, quelques unes ont eu le traitement d’une texture. Le resultat, je trouve, est tres flatteur pour les modeles mais aussi pour la composition.

J’ai intitule cet article “Urbaine Glamazones” pour evoquer le chic et glamour dans le chaos d’un mur de tag.

Petite note technique: j’ai utilise’ un flash deporte’ sur ces images, actionne’ par un couple de Radio Popper.

J’ai utilise’ essentiellement le Canon 5D Mark III avec l’objectif Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS L USM. J’avais aussi ammene’ un Nikon D700 et l’objectif Nikkor 70-200 F2.8 AF-S VR, mais l’ai tres peu utilise’.

Models on the top of Canberra

Another shoot in the cold with my favorite model Rachelle and another young and talented model : Emma.

This is the second time that I shoot Rachelle during this winter. Despite the cold, both models showed professionalism and did a really good job.

Once again I put the Canon 5D Mark II and the Nikon D700 to the test and I shot more with the Nikon than the previous shoot.

Both cameras perform beautifully but I still have my preference for the Canon for its bigger file size (more mega pixels) and the color rendition. But again, after post, one can barely tell, especially for web based sizes.

For this shoot, I had the pleasure to have the visit of my Dad. He was “responsible” for my love of photography and it was really cool to have Dad on set.

Check out the behind the scene video under the photos. The video was shot my my brother Vincent. The shoot was on Mt Ainslie in Canberra.

Enjoy.
