I mentioned a fashion-style shoot in this thread.
Well, unless it’s belting down with rain it will take place on Friday, 10th June, at West Morton, (Nr. Riddlesden, W. Yorks.) starting at about 11.30 a.m. It will be fashion/clothed glamour shoot in a woodland setting with this model (not my photos). Michael Sewell has kindly offered to help, I’m going to try to get him to do most of the work – serve him right for saying that he wants to play with the Discovery
Basically, the invitation is for a small group of people to join in and take part. Anyone is welcome, I would think that this will be most useful to people who have never done any outdoor fashion shoots.
What’s involved? Basically acting as unpaid assistant, which means carrying lighting gear, holding lights, reflectors etc., making suggestions and, if you want to, taking some shots yourself. The model release will allow you to make full use of your shots. There won’t be a lot of carrying involved as we can drive close to where we want to be – probably.
We’ll be using the new Lencarta Discovery portable flash system, plus various light shapers such as folding softboxes and beauty dishes, and we will also be using the Lencarta Safari. We will also be making a short video of what happens, so if anyone wants to bring a camcorder with them (or operate one of mine) then that will be a big help.
What you’ll get out of it is an insight into how we approach this kind of shoot and how we use lighting to either complement or overpower ambient lighting, how we go about directing a model etc. The woodland setting allows us to shoot in both bright sunlight and shade, assuming that the sun shines, and there are open fields too, with sheep and some nearly new lambs. There’s also a farmyard, there’s usually a muck spreader and various other machinery there, so we may be able to do something with those too, time permitting.
The model will arrive at my studio in Bradford at 10 a.m. for makeup, we will then leave here at about 11 (so you need to be here by 10.45) and will drive to the venue, which is a farm, arriving hopefully at about 11.30. You may prefer to go directly to the venue, and if so I can give you directions, but it’s along an unnamed country road with no known postcode and involves driving along a rutted farm track, so starting from my studio might be a better option...
I have room in my 4x4 for 3 passengers + model. Michael will also have room for passengers in his 4x4, so as long as everyone travels in one of these cars we won’t have any problems with the farm track, which can be a bit muddy at times. Depending on the weather during the previous few days though, wellie boots might be a good idea...
Statement of the obvious, but no dogs – there will be stock in the fields – and the gate will have to be kept shut.
Feel free to ask questions on this thread, but please contact me by PM if you would like to take part. Strictly on a first come basis.
