MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Merry Christmas to ALL.We hope you all enjoy the break.Maree and myself decided to make our Christmas Card the other day.

Set-up:We placed an SB600 high camera left fired by pocket wizard,2 SB24s optical trigger left and right onto the background.Shot the cameras under the same lighting then dropped it into the shot in post.I did the tree illustration for another job.





By the way, a special mention of David Barnes at ProAm photo lab on Brunker Rd Adamstown. Thanks for your great work through the year and providing us with excellent service. We encourage local photographers to support their local labs, they cannot compete with the mass printing franchises for cost...but they can give you better quality and service.

GREAT JOB BARNSEY...

Lisa's Success Story-A 95kg weight loss.

Lisa is a fantastic success story. Lisa a client of Curves Gym, Mayfield branch.I was commissioned to do a shoot for diane the Curves Magazine.

The brief was to supply a selection of images where Lisa looked vital and dynamic to capture her excitement at losing 95kg. Sample pdf was sent as samples of the layout.Clothing guidelines were no frills,plunging necklines or florals.Darker solid colours were the preference. We decided to add some purple the signature colour of Curves. Text will be added to images so there needed to be provision for that. Through discussion with the art director a seamless white studio shot was arrived at, with various poses.Facing the subject in both directions enables the graphic artist freedom when laying up the page ( they appreciate it).
Once the brief was filled we decided to add some more dramatic images, hard lights and some showing the light source. Many of our clients like a "behind the scenes" style of image. I think we are swinging the other way from OVERLY DIGITALLY MANIPULATED images and PHOTOSHOP DISASTERS. These images of Lisa are not liquified, pushed, pulled or reduced.
The more dramatic images were a hit with both the art director and Lisa and they are the selection that will appear in the magazine.

ric woods photography studio totally enjoyed the shoot and sharing the excitement of Lisa's fantastic achievement.
