PS Edit

2012-01-31T06:26:00.002-07:00

I LOVE Lightroom (3) and do probably 98% of all my editing there, but as fantastic as it is, there are some things you just want to go over to PS for (I haven't tried the LR Beta -- I hear good things, but I'm still not sure if it does this). Madison's bright blue tunic didn't exactly clash with the awesome scarf, but it didn't really compliment it, either. So, now it is golds and greys -- bam! Also, the white seemless was getting monotonous so I changed it to black. With a lighting adjustment at the shoot, the same background effect could have been pulled off, but hindsight is 20/20, as they say. PS, there is still a place for you, after all.

old pix through Lightroom

2012-01-27T20:42:00.000-07:00

Was looking at pix this evening. Old shots of a fashion show from 2006. I was happy with them at the time, but my now more critical eye saw a lot of problems, but running this shot through Lightroom 3, a resource I definitely didn't have in '06, I was quite pleased, again. I wonder if I'll be revisiting this in another five/six years and re-editing with Adobe 2017 MagicProPhotoLightshoproom 1-Click Fix-It-All. Well, that's what I'd call it.

Portraits Using Gels:

Click the above link for all the details, but in a nutshell:

This is really very clever. Adjust the background hues by first gelling (wrongly) for your primary subject and then "correcting" in software. The subject is then properly color-corrected while the background is cast in (presumably) more interesting hues than the true. Great for editorial work. I'll definitely be trying this one soon.

clamshell lighting for beauty

2012-01-17T09:17:00.000-07:00

Just a quickie here to talk about clamshell lighting for beauty shots. I made the lovely Dawn take five minutes out of her day and stand under the strobes to demonstrate the basic technique that is often used for beauty shots (usually a headshot designed to show-off the features of a model and/or the fine handywork of the MUA).

It is called Clamshell lighting because, much like a clamshell, the approach is from the top and the bottom. And this can be accomplished several ways. One way involves a beauty dish above and in front of your model (you can have an assistant hold the light there, the stand could be behind you, or, in my situation, I used a boom stand that reached in and over from the right). In this case I used a shoot-through umbrella, simply because I didn't have access to the beauty dish at the moment. I used a Canon 580EX speedlite manually set to 1/4 power triggered by a Cowboy Studio wireless receiver.

So that takes of the top of the clamshell. For the bottom, I could have set up another light, on a stand, or a kicker coming in from the floor. However, since this was an impromptu experiment, I didn't have anymore lights with me! So Dawn held a reflector in her arms, parallel to the floor and ceiling (maybe tilted slightly toward her face). This reflects light back in under the chin and nose. It reduced dimensionality (that I would normally want) while emphasizing an angelic quality to any face.

I must disclose, that, for purposes of continued marital bliss, I did some minor editing on this image, basically using Lightroom 3's skin softening brush to even out the skin a little bit. You can see in this image how the shadows are dramatically softened. Not a technique I would pull out of the bag everyday, but good to know for those times when the real subject matter is the face or makeup job itself, and not the clothes or the whole set scene.

Hope that helps you out. Enjoy.

photographic gifts

2012-01-03T07:04:00.001-07:00

Well, the holidays have now come and gone. Were you gifted with any new gear? My terrific family gave me a few great accessories to set me up for 2012. I received: My birthday was right in the mix, too, so I was graced with double goodies!

PBL Photo Studio 40" Reflective Umbrella Softboxes This two-pack of brolly boxes is quite the cat's meow. They are clearly designed for use with monolights, but, by simply moving the light further into the box, they can be used easily with speedlites (but now I want a dual or tri-flash bracket to throw in there, too!). Thanks Harry and Lila!

CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Trigger for External Speelights with 1 Trigger and 2 Receiver I've talked about these before as I already had some. But now, I can set up more lights or have a second kit ready to go, or, as was the case last week, Dawn and I can shoot at basically the same time with the same llight setup in the studo. Again, the thanks go to Lila and Harry. I have the best in-laws!.

A pair of very cool socks with little cameras all over 'em. Thanks H and L!

A new shoot-through umbrella, which is awesome because one of mine broke just a few weeks ago. Thanks, wifey!

And a super cool pen with a tiny camera on top that flashes and makes shutter noises -- FUN! Thank you, Dawn!

I'd love to hear about what you received in the comment section. Although, if you were given a Canon 70-200mm f2.8L II IS lens, my jealousy might get the better of me and start a flame war.

Received a nice message from the mother of the young man we photographed Friday (see below) in the studio. The photoshoot was a last minute job for some multi-agency auditions on Saturday. The mother wrote:

"Hi Ron-
Well good news! My son was chosen. He made it, he got his call back Sunday."

Was it because of my photographs? Well, the young man is gregarious and charming, so, no, probably not. I think he got there all by himself. The photos did come out nicely, however, and demonstrate his range. Clear and sharp, those casting agents will know who they are dealing with. Good luck, Javoughn!

cheapskate photo gift guide

2011-12-03T16:51:00.000-07:00

Well the holidays are upon us. Which means you may well want to get something for that photographer in your life. Well, a nice 70-200mm f2.8 stabilized lens is guaranteed to be appreciated. Is $700-$2400 out of your price range?

Well, as it turns out, there are hundreds of items that a photographer will very likely think is the cats pajamas on Christmas morning that are under $100. Spare lens caps (front and/or rear) - we're always misplacing those things, speedlite diffusers, filters, microfiber lens cloths, memory cards, spare batteries (dedicated, AA's, and rechargeables), camera bags, reflectors, grey cards, GC for the ol' print lab, mats, frames, digital frames, animoto subscriptions, magazine subscriptions, etc. etc. etc. You get the idea.

If your photographer is jumping into off camera flash techniques or needs equipment for the pro or ad-hoc studio, I've compiled a list of some great light modifiers and related equipment all retailing for between $4 and $80, not including shipping.

1. PBL Photo Studio 40" Reflective Umbrella Softbox by PBL. This is a set of TWO umbrella softboxes for only $29 smackers. These work more like softboxes but setup and break down more like umbrellas. The advantage over umbrellas is confining the side light spill and saving it to send all the light where you want it.

2. Big white seamless. If your studio is not blessed with a cyc wall, you are going to want a big white seamless backdrop. Great for people but also versatile for product work.

3. Lens Pen. Whether it's just dust, or the fingerprints of the kids you just photographed, you need to clean your lenses regularly. This thing is only $4!

4. Cheap flash triggers. Just a godsend! I have some of these and they are terrific. You need to know that they do not communicate TTL info and only synch to 1/250 and start to peter out around 50 ft. But they work (with speedlites, but also with old focals, starblitz, etc.), the manual nature will really up your game, and they are so cheap you can leave spares around your studio so your buddy can pick a transmitter and shoot that model with you.

5. Wind machine. At $78 this is the priciest thing on the list, and honestly, you can probably pick up a shop fan at Walmart for far cheaper. But this is fancy lookin', ain't it?

6. Softbox with grid and flashmount. Pretty much explains itself. The grid is really what makes it.

7. Impact Umbrella Bracket. Your photographer is gonna want three of these. Trust me. I believe Impact is B&H's house brand, so pretty reliable stuff.

8. Cheap shoot-through umbrella. If you don't go with any of the softboxes above, you can pick these up cheap. If your photographer doesn't have wireless flash triggers, I've found that the shoot-through is handier for aiming the infrared triggers over the reflective umbrellas. You lose and spill more light with the shoot-throughs, though.

9. Another softbox with bracket and case. Another good option for size and price.

10. Lightstands. Lightstands to stick under all the brackets, triggers, umbrellas, and softboxes above. This is a set of two for under $40.

If I can pull it together I'll try to do another gift guide soon for some of that other stuff I mentioned (waaaay up there in the ol' post). Never stop pressing that shutter!
