A little bit of news:
Air New Zealand
Those of you who follow me on Twitter and Facebook will know that this past week I’ve been working with Air New Zealand on a new Marketing Initiative. Part of this project involves me taking photographs of each of the Airlines Flight Service Manager’s (FSM) in a number of pre determined poses. Now although I can’t go into detail about the project I do want to show you a little ‘behind the scenes’ so you can see how we go from Point A to Point B (see below) which shows the rather limited space we have to work in for these particular photos.
Originally we were looking at producing 3/4 length shots hence the collapsible backdrop however this changed to full length so a little creative use of a white sheet was called for to produce a ‘sort of’ studio. I’ll be writing a post to show you the lighting involved and the small amount editing needed to get the final images in a couple of days time.
Photo Pro Magazine
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by Photo Pro Magazine asking if I would write a short article about how I made the following photograph:
I’m not sure just yet when the article will be published but when it is I’ll reproduce it here too so you can see the process that was involved including the lighting and final editing in Photoshop.
Right, that’s all for now so have a great weekend and I’ll catch up with you soon with some results from this weekends workshop.
Enjoy
