Same photographer See all Behind The Lens

Shoot with a model for the first time in ages. Made use of a cool studio of an acquaintance in Northcote, Victoria.

While walking around an old town, I saw this car tucked behind an antique shop. I shot it through some fencing with my iphone.

Camped at Lake Walpeup near Patchewollock, northern Victoria, Australia.

Viola was one of my first models to pose for me. She did some zombie makeup and we shot in an old abandoned pie factory.

Found this little fella wandering around the house. Was quite happy to sit still for this shot with an iphone. Not intimidated by me at all.

This is a composite image of three photos I took. I thought it was an interesting idea.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in the unused attic of a well known local hotel in my town. It was nice and grungy with many old rooms. Charlotte the model loved the feel of the space.

Time

It was an afternoon photoshoot without a time limit. We had the run of the top floor, exploring various nooks and crannies.

Lighting

The attic area was quite dark with the occasional small window allowing in some natural light, but often it wasn’t enough to get the mood I was aiming for.

Equipment

This shot was taken with a Nikon D300 using a Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 at 31mm, 1/60s, f/2.8, iso200. I used a Nikon SB700 speedlight with umbrella to light Charlotte up.

Inspiration

I was given the opportunity to look through the hotel attic by the management at the time and fell in love with the moody nostalgic feel of the place, and Charlotte was able to convey the same beautiful feel.

Editing

I normally do very little post processing, keeping it as subtle as I can, which my models have appreciated. I generally only remove distracting marks in the image and make small adjustments to reflect the mood I’m aiming for.

In my camera bag

Today my sling bag holds a Nikon D750, a Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 and it’s partner the 70-200 f/2.8, as well as a Sigma f/1.8, a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 and a Tamron 28-300mm. I squeeze in batteries, a SB910 Speedlight, filters and a Gary Fong dome. Depending on the shoot though, I remove what I don’t want.

Feedback

Finding a location like this is a Godsend, so keep an eye out and don’t be scared to reach out to owners of such places. Sometimes you get lucky.
