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.

Looking back on 2008, Nomad Photography celebrated one year in the business under our own brand.

After second shot for a few big names in the business, Nomad Photography started in November 2007 as a young studio but with strong artistic skills in the world of wedding and portraiture.

I’d like to thank all the couples that have given us their trust and have been rewarded by beautiful photos.

In this short slide show, about 250 photos … I take a look back on the previous season with all wonderful souvenirs and all the pleasure and chance to have shared a bit of your life.

Once again I would like to thank all our brides and grooms, along with all the families and clients for their trust in us.

May Christmas bring joy and happiness to your families. We wish you all the bests for 2009.

As mentioned above, there are more than 250 photos to load, so please be patient, it’s worth it.

Canon 5D2. Birth of controversy.

There is a lot of dicussion around on various forums regarding the Canon 5D2 and its new features. Some yell out for scandal why Canon put a video mode in a D-SLR and other complain about the “affordable” (but not confirmed) price of 2500 USD body only. The main argument found around is that “uncle Bob” could have the same camera as you at a wedding …

Well, I’d say that a camera doesn’t have to be expensive to give fantastic images. Having a top of the line camera doesn’t make you an outstanding photographer either. If you know how to pull the best out of your gear, if you master the light and composition, you can have kiler images even with apoint ans shoot. At least that’s what I think and believe.

Other than that, I still like to have the lastest gears because, because … because I like it. And if it could help me to improve my photography than why not? I used to mix still images and short video sequences in my slide show, and the brides like it, so now with full HD video function built in the Canon 5D2, why should I complain? In fact I don’t.
