Shot at F/9.0 at 1/125th of a second at ISO 100.  Two lights used to illuminate the background set at F/11.0.  A beauty dish was used in front.

In a continuation of my series on movement I placed an ad on craigslist and had several people respond.  Kiri was the first of many to arrive.  She’s been trained in many forms of dance and is a professional dancer now.  I was truly blessed with being able to shot a woman with such grace and beauty and most importantly with a great sense of how her body was moving.  Everything was so elegant and amazing.  I hardly have any throw away frames from the day.  This one was my favorite though.

Shot at F/14.0 at 1/125th of a second at ISO 100 using a single beauty dish in front.  The background was two Profoto monoheads fired at F/16.0 into foamcore VFlats.

Kyle came to me through the same cragislist ad as Kiri.  I kept the same lighting setup to keep the images in this series fairly consistent.  There’s power and determination in this shot.  There’s also a hell of a lot of focus.  It’s a great counterpoint to the image of Kiri I think.

Shot at F/9.0 at 1/125th of a second at ISO 100 using a beauty dish on the front powered with a 2400 WS Profoto power pack.  The background is shot with two Profoto 600 WS monoheads at F/11.0 into foamcore V Flats.

Charlotte is another member of the movement project I’ve been working.  She is a downhill skier.  She had beautiful images and great fun jumping in the studio.

Shot at F11.0 at on 1/125th of a second at ISO 100 via beauty dish powered by Profoto 2400 WS power pack.  Background shot at F/11.0 using two Profoto 600 WS monoheads.  Composite of two images with photoshop overlay.

Here’s my lates foray into fashion.  I think it’s really beautiful.  Let me know what you think!

More to come… including an update to my website!

In the meanwhile I had the opportunity to photograph a lovely model named Megan.  She was interested in having some different and fun kinds of images made.  This is what we came up with:

Made using a black duvateen background and a single beauty dish on a boom set at F/11.0 at 1/125th at ISO 100.  There was also a green rim light shot into a V-Flat coming in from behind her and the right.  The key to the photo is pre-focusing.

This project was meant to be!
