Meet Marianne.
Marianne pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me think, which is a good thing! We started shooting in an old cargo container. Not the most interesting location but we made it work using a cross lighting setup. Marianne told me she was a little nervous, it certainly didn’t appear that way in the first shot of the day!
We hung around in the container shooting for about 40 minutes and then packed up the gear and headed over to 7th & Harrison and shot using the Mac Dre Memorial Mural as our background. This right here was my favourite shot of the day! It’s shot above the sync speed of my camera so the black bar caused by doing this occluded the road at the bottom of the shot…no need for Photoshop that way.
I’ll end with a shot using a simple setup , 2 lights behind Marianne at full power and a softbox up front.
I really had a lot of fun on this shoot. Marianne was an incredible subject (thanks Marianne!) with a clear idea of the style of photos she wanted. I think we came pretty close to that idea.
Marianne is pretty much the last free shoot I had on my books. I’m officially ending my TFP project now…unless you can convince me otherwise!
Fantastic work Paul. The lighting is amazing as always. You’ve definitely helped my photography a great deal.
My favorite shot is the Mac Dre Murial. Everybody from SF or a Mac Dre fan would say you represented just right.
The last shot is straight out of a magazine. Great work!
THANK YOU TO PAUL AND JORGE FOR AN AMAZING PHOTOSHOOT I HAD A LOT OF FUN WORKING WITH YOU GUYS. ;D
Thanks Marianne
We had a lot of fun too. We have some more ideas for you so we will need to do another shoot sometime.
Paul
