Studio shoot with Lumia 1020

eye of the beholder

Last weekend we spent some time at studio to test different video lighting setups and slow motion recording. I have been thinking options for next video cam. Nikon D600 would be otherwise perfect for me but unfortunately the video recording with that camera is somewhat limited as you can't change aperture in video mode. Then the megapixel flagship D800, but more expensive to be just used for video. Choices, choices...

Lucky Hell

Another shoot with Lucky Hell.

Set of fashion/slightly messy hair in movement photos with small variations in the setup. Time lapse in the end of post showing that most of the time goes building lighting setups and waiting.

Tougher Than a Lion

 

Army themed (inspiration from Rihanna's music video) shoot with Henri. Sunny October day, just perfect weather for shooting in gravel pit. After sun was setting, day continued inside the studio. More photos and BTS shots after the jump.

Marigona

Test shoot of Marigona

Saara with furry hat

Test shoot for amazing Saara. Three different styles this time. Many of the photos from the studio session were done by using Umbrella XL as the main light. Soft but contrasty light, one of my favorite light modifiers currently. Some of the lighting setups can be seen from the behind the scenes video at the end of post.

DIY laser trigger for flash

Colleague built this DIY laser trigger for flash. Electronics are packed inside the small pelicase. Probably not TSA approved device.

How many photographers are needed to test the device? Answer can be found from short video below.

Marooned

Fashion shoot at beach next to the sea, Helsinki. More photos after the link.

Futuristic

Fashion shoot at awesome plastic house Futuro at WeeGee Näyttelykeskus. Exhibition is still running some weeks so if you happen to be around Espoo it is worth checking the yellow Futuro house designed by architect Matti Suuronen in 1960s.

windy day

From the ex tempore shoot with Henri and Iiris. We had idea to test parabolic umbrella outside, but as can be seen from video the day was too windy for that. Good shoot without too much pre-planning. We took some photos with D-lite & beauty dish and lot more just using ambient light and reflector. Photos coming later.

Before and after by Herstyler & Gaya

From makeover shoot last year for Gaya cosmetics & HerStyler

Snowing

Snowing was good addition to the sunny day when I took these photos of Mia & Pyry. Taken with 50mm @ f1.6.
