"In the Wind" The Making of Photo Shoot Video

I have been asked more times than I can count, if I can share my lighting with photographers wishing to understand what I did for a specific image I have done. So I decided to have one of my shoots which features designers "Paul & Joe" Paris for their Spring/Summer collection captured on video. FrÃ©dÃ©rique Renaut used a Fuji F100 digital 6 mega pixel consumer digital camera to capture the scenes and quite frankly, I am quite impressed with the results.

None the less, it will give you an insider view in to one of my shoots where I used a mixed bag of HMI cinema lights, Tungsten and Flash as well as scrims, flags and other stuff to achieve my goal.

Julie Potapova from Silent Models in Paris was a pleasure to work with as was Marielle Loubet the Make-Up artist and Stylist Parissima Saleh. In fact although a very, very long day, it was a real pleasure working with the whole team.

I was also very pleased with the clothing on offer from "Paul & Joe" Paris. They worked perfectly for the theme, except for one change that didn't work out. Was not as fluid as I would have liked and the color I chose for the capture didn't work with the rest, so we decided to use another clothing change that would be more in line with the rest of the theme.

Anyways, hope you enjoy this almost as much as I did.

Ben :-)

I guess mine is not even close to those standards.

Fabulous Ben! I wish I had access to that studio.

I like the shot you did...Perhaps simplifying the background might give the foreground more impact.
