This shoot was a joint effort between Graham Law and myself photographing Ken and Hannah. This was aimed to be more than a straight forward portrait session. I created moodboards and discussed what types of images we all wanted from the shoot. I’m very pleased with the results and hope you like the photographs…
I loved shooting at this location!
It's all about the angle... same lighting setup as the previous image.
Let's get to work! Yeah!!
A simple portrait... with colour bars to add interest.
I've always wanted to take a more out-of-context type images. When I saw this blank frame I knew instantly what to do with it! 😉
A few natural light images...
There was literally nothing to see at this location... but when armed with a photographers eye it all changes...
The lighting for this image used a flash triggered with a Pocket Wizard and a Lowel-ID light.
Same location as the previous image and without the flash firing...
My friend Graham made a great light modifier and I used it in this frame.
I got the inspiration for this image from a photo of a band I had seen.
It was pre-arranged for Hannah to join in the shoot later in the afternoon. This was the first shot taken in a small street with a softbox and Pocket Wizards.
Same location as Ken's image, but using the Lowel-ID light to light the wall.
The next few shots used the Lowel-ID only...
Black and White seemed to work better than colour for my taste.
Experimented with more outrageous compositions.
I love the next series of images because of the prom dress in an industrial location. Again going with the out-of-context type theme.
Ken is dressed up too!
A bit of fun adding in a "007" theme...
We're all having a great time...
Simple but effective composition.
I love this out-of-context idea... I must explore this more...
A wider shot of the previous image.
