Behind The Lens

Location

Hey ViewBuggers (heh heh), The process of documenting this shot was very intensive as its the first and only of its kind that I have done. It completely blurred the line between photography and cinematography for me to be honest. But where is the line in a project as such? Here is a video on the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy_Vc8kfhhA And here is an in depth article on SLR Lounge on it all: http://www.slrlounge.com/montreal-jazz-band-bs-bees-studio-album-cover/

Time

Indoors, all artificial lighting, so time of day didn't matter :)

Lighting

2 Alien Bees bare bulb to light the scene. 1 old school (yo) Vivitar flash to light the lampshade.

Equipment

Canon 5D III, 24-70mm Cactus V5 Duo triggers Manfrotto Tripod

Inspiration

Oh boy, so many things. I talk a lot about it all in the video. And I talk a lot.

Editing

Coloring was an important aspect of the post prod to ensure this photograph fit in the era we were going for. But first and foremost, it was to layer up the different exposures of the model moving around the room.

In my camera bag

My most perfect Canon 5D III, 24-70 And I never go anywhere without my backup Nikon D90, 50mm 1.8

Feedback

Well, be inspired. Take your time. I don't think a project like this can be rushed. Talk about it to different people. See peoples reactions to different ideas you propose. Research research research. This is set design at the end of the day. And last, love what you do.
