365 Project : Day 257

Finding a good angle is not easy; you have to constantly move and work with your model. I was lucky that Alex (model) is such a great model and knows how to improvise 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 17-50 f2.8 OS HSM Settings: f4 | 1/250 | ISO 100 Strobist: 580 exii + 60″ collapsed umbrella on camera right @ 1/16 power Trigger: 7D’s built in trigger Post process: DRI’d 2 exposure for the background Dodging and burning Blending […]

365 Project : Day 256

I really like the model’s stance and look here together.  I composed this shot thinking of showing the viewers what the place look like and get the feel of the grungy textures as well.

365 Project : Day 255

One thing I learn about doing an environmental portrait is that,  when you do your composition, you have to already take note of what post kind of process you’ll do.  Knowing the look you wanted before taking the shot will help a lot in post production.

365 Project : Day 254

This portrait was taken in a very unlikely place, anyway… those three holes are broken windows which nicely frames the surroundings of the place. This place offers a lot of grungy textures. This was shot in one of the abandoned villa in Ras Al Khaimah. It was a fun shoot and I would like to thank our model, Alexandra Lyubimaya, who’s very fun to work with. She’s our model, our stylist and make up artist! Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma […]
