Teasers Modeling Workshop Openshoot

Last Saturday I attended an openshoot..


BASIC MODELLING (FIRST SESSION)
ORGANIZED BY KATHERINE CAMILLE TOVERA OF PH EVENTS GROUP
APRIL 18, 2016
QC PARKS & WILDLIFE (TEAHOUSE)

The morning was a modeling workshop for aspiring models followed by an openshoot in the afternoon. I was unable to attend the workshop for models in the morning but went to the openshoot around 130pm.

The shoot had already started but some of the ladies were still being "made up" by the makeup artists... I was just observing because it is one of my wishes to one day also be a makeup artist too... another side of the spectrum :-)

My goal for this shoot was to work on my "focus" Lately I had noticed that some of my photos were leaning on the soft side. Although it gives a feminine soft look, I was unhappy. I wanted a super clear super sharp photo. So i discussed it with my husband and we came to the conclusion that my hands must be unsteady and the effect was camera shake. I know that to be true...sometimes when i click on the shutter button i feel a slight recoil of me pushing the camera upwards.

The solution to this was to control the speed....we did a few tests at home and with my 55-210mm lens, we figured that my slowest shutter speed should not go any lower than 1/200 to get a really good, really sharp photo. To top that, we also tested the ISO and tried to see how the noise was affecting the sharpness... indoors, i could go up to 800 ISO with fair sharpness... better though 600..

But I concluded to keep it really sharp, I will keep my ISO at 400. So, speed 1/200 or higher...ISO 400 or lower and of course the largest opening F4.5/5... so what happens when its too dark. I can use either the ev compensation or pop up the on camera flash.

So I went to the openshoot with that as my goal.... here are my results....





 













I am quite happy that I finally achieved the sharpness that I was looking for. These are all just teasers from the event. Now its time to edit for each of these model/clilents. But before that I need to go back to my studio shots from 2 weekends ago...

Smile and Stay Beautiful....Happy shooting....

Planning Stage for our Conceptual High Fashion Shoot

So last weekend we had a collab with a group of photographers and we used some of my gowns from my wardrobe collection for the shoot. I also adorned some of the models with the fused glass jewelry that I created previously. I had so much fun that I decided my 3rd FASHION FLIRTY OPEN SHOOT EVENT will be one indoors. This kicked off my planning stage. I wanted this shoot to be a fully thought out, conceptual shoot with full on accessories, jewelry and wardrobe.... I met with one of my makeup artists to talk about a few ideas and today i have created a fb group that would serve as the "meeting ground" for the concept shoot team that is on private...and ill only add those participating in the event. The concept i have decided on is THE ELEMENTS OF ALCHEMY.... each model with represent an element as envisioned by the designers.... EARTH...FIRE...WIND/AIR....WATER.... AETHER.... and a sixth element METAL.... here are some of the details for the planning stage... 1......

Retouching Work

I've been kind away from this blog and actually photography in general. A lot of things have been going on but I've decided to start it all back again. I am working on a fresh new website for my portraits and in the process of setting up another one for retouching work. I've re-worked a few of my photos for the retouching websites... Original - And here is the after - I also wanted to take that branch out on the left hand side because it was quite distracting. So here it is without the branch. I also added a color enhancement on it to make the colors pop a bit more. Here is the second edit I worked on today. Original - I adjusted tones and contrast a bit. Then worked on the skin. Here is the result for that. I wanted to soften the lines under the eyes a little without completing removing it which would make it look too unnatural. Finally, i wanted his eyes to really pop. So here is the final image with an eye enhanceme...
