Todays Shoot - Sadie (NSFW)

First off - did everyone see THIS?! - http://twitpic.com/1mpzop - thats right! REVOLVER MAGAZINE! has a small piece on my corpse paint project! - SHITS HUUUUGE!- way bigger then i had ever imagined.

anyhoo...

Neither of us could remember how we met - mayhem, twitter, who knows?! - anyway..

Sadie RULES! - Shes way into horror and being nerdy - my twin! haha.

2 things about this shoot - 1. all images are unedited 2. I will absolutely be working with this model again in the immediate future

I was SHOT from a very very very long day, and she had a shoot earlier in the day in NYC, so we were both kind of worn down.. So rather then doing an all out-full long shoot - we decided to do some quick stuff for the goth/fetish/fashion project then corpse paint.

I started off with split lighting - F10 - at a 160th - ISO100 - the entire shoot was ISO100 - on the mark 2 1ds - but in studio i shot with the 70-200 the entire time. - I used 2 profoto compact 300s at 50% power with 3x4 soft boxes on them.





































































































































After doing a bunch of sets on that I had her switch back into the cool leather/strip dress and did some shots with a boomed beauty dish from above - shot at F14 at a 160th - i should have shot it at a F16 to get that lighting a bit more selective - but thats always something i can sort out in post if need be












































































After shooting that we added CORPSE PAINT! - and tada - shot the same exact thing except this time I did jump my Fstop to F16






































After shooting on white i switched it over to black paper (not velvet) which usually reflects light and goes a bit grey - but I had the beauty dish far enough away from the paper so it would go to an almost pure black but not quite as dark as the velour black - same settings - 160th at F16






































We then switched to split lighting on white - two soft boxes - again the settings were F14 at a 160th

























































At this point i was very tired and she was yawning - but i figured - it was late enough in the day where we could hit the basement and do some shots real quick.

I loaded up two dynalite uni400s with cold tone umbrellas - i figured id shoot two umbrellas split and shoot her again in the future with just the beauty dish... it was so windy and cold that shooting outside wasnt even a thought... - we hit two spots - my settings for the entire shoot were F10 for the majority (last two shots - the horizontal ones - are F13). I shot all of these with the 24-70 2.8 - but has a huuuge issue with one of my fully charged dynalite batteries which just wouldnt recycle quickly at all - fully charged it was taking 30 seconds to recharge - UGH! - guess ill be sending THAT one in soon. - but alas - here are the photos



















































































all in all for a quick shoot - very successful - and shes not far away so im sure we will be shooting again in the very near future
