Since I have the Canon 5D Mark II with its amazing video taking abilities, I would lurve to make videos like this! Stay tuned!

Australian Vogue from Greg Kadel Studios.

I’m really digging the Australian model – Abbey Lee Kershaw as well.

Phew! What a jam-packed weekend I had! Luckily I got to Instinct Film Studio more or less on time on both days to make the most out of my first ever photography workshop. I took a lot out of the couple of days, especially the second, as it was all about retouching and taking the images to the next level. To have some of Tom Hoops‘ drive and skill rub off on me was a welcomed experience. It was nice to see exactly how the process worked from start to finish on a typical days work on a fashion shoot; from make-up/styling to shooting to editing, both in studio and outdoors.

Dominique was our international female model that was fantastic with her posing and knew her angles most of the time which made shooting her a breeze. She was very vocal and gave us an insight on photographing models and how to work with them.

Wow, I had a lot of fun at this shoot. Was just experimenting, we took quite a few shots and some just didn’t work. But hey, second ever shoot, can’t win them all right?

It was nice to work with just a reflector but a lot of the time the light was sufficient and bouncing off the white walls all nicely for me. This was all shot at my house.

So as I mentioned in the previous post, I got my hands on the Canon 5D Mark II. The only lens I have is the 85mm/1.8. Pretty classic fashion. I was lucky enough to know Justin Bratton, a professional model living here in Bangkok and was kind enough to spare some of his time so that I could do my first test shoot. I stumbled onto Goldmund’s site and liked his attitude, so I went ahead and booked the studio for a couple of hours. With his guidance and me fooling around in Lightroom, here are some of the shots:

I thought I’d share this image of my pug named Pika. She’s about 3 years old now and always full of energy. Those of you that have met her will definitely agree I’m sure! The name comes from Pikachu. So you Portuguese speaking people, please keep your mind out of the gutter – hehe.

This was shot with my old Pentax ist DS2. Sadly it’s going into retirement now as I’ll be solely shooting with the new Canon 5D Mark II! w00!
