"Chavground"

JonathanRyan · 25 Jun 2012

Everybody knows that shooting on a white background is kind of beneath contempt

Here's a BTS video showing me slumming it using a bit of white.

Just don't ask what kind of lights I'm using

I've never said that it can't be done well, only that it looks terrible when it's done badly.

Was hoping to see the some finished images at the end, are they available anywhere?

JonathanRyan · 25 Jun 2012

Ooops yeah - I meant to link to the designer's blog instead of directly to Vimeo.

Couple of pics here http://www.madelineisaacjames.com/

Lots more to be released soon but it's the 2013 campaign so I have no control over it

Nice, the white background certainly suits a wedding shot!

Thanks. You can imagine that wasn't my initial reaction when she proposed it....

The size of the studio helped a _lot_ on this one.

zack arias summed it up best, 'the less space and the less lights you've got, the more you'll swear'...

as cacky and boring it is, it's a reliable commercial staple that'll never go away as designers etc will always need it for cutouts

Very peasant video. Would have been nice to finish off with the shot you took at the end with the 'bride', or indeed a few other shots you took on the day.

Never going to happen really. Pics were delivered to client yesterday. She has them placed in a couple of magazines and will have them printed fairly large for a big trade show.

Not worth putting rushed pics on a video for the sake of it

As for the other pics I took on the stay....there aren't any. Somebody else was shooting BTS stills but I don't really get chance on these shoots for play time.
