Grey Day... no problem.

Hey,

We're coming to the end of shoots for the Melbourne Pools and Outdoor Design Magazine and in case you haven't noticed it is winter and the weather has been terrible. I thought I would show what can be done in Photoshop to make the sun come out... so if you are a client thinking of a last minute cancellation you can see that 95% of the time grey sky's are fine.

 Before & After...

I might do a post on how I do this in the future... getting the sky to look real is the trick. I think the results are as good as if the sun was really out and the sky was really blue.

Cheers,
Brad.

Front Covers!

Hey,

Who said I can't have a little brag on my blog/website? I was reading on another blog the other day that said when you work for yourself it is harder to celebrate the small achievements you make... well here is one of mine.

I currently have photos on the front cover of 2 magazines...yay me. Not a big deal, I've been printed in several others before now but for some reason never on the cover.

They are the two mags on the bottom left, the pools one is full of my photos too but that cover shot is not mine.

Cheers,
Brad.

The varied life of a freelancer!

Hey!

I have had a massive couple of weeks which is great! I thought I would post a select sample of shots from a couple of shoots in the last 48 hours... no two days are the same... some of it may not be glamorous but I love it and to be honest if I didn't have to feed and clothe myself I would probably do it for free! (If you are a client don't get any ideas!!)

Cookie...

Guy Grossi's Grill...

Gin Palace... (the old water Martini trick)

 Random Suburban Interior...

  Random Suburban Exterior...

Pool Pumps...

Display Pool Covers and Roller...

... the Spice of Life.

Cheers,

Brad.

Wine Bottles

Hey,

I did a post back in January about wine bottles but I have developed my range of styles a bit since and thought it was time to show you the difference.

Firstly... the final image.

 

You may not notice a huge difference from the January shoot but technically it is quite different.

Here is the setup...

-Camera in the foreground... zoomed to about 250mm. f10, 200th roughly.
-Speedlite with snoot on the far left... (a snoot directs a very narrow beam of light, in this case at the label. It is homemade out of that 'twin plastic board'... realestate agent 'for-sale' signs.)
-Sheet of glass as a table for the bottle.
-2nd speedlite under the bottle to light the background.
-Small black-card with white A4 paper as a reflector on the LHS of the bottle.
-Large black-card on RHS of bottle to block most of the light. (easier to see in next pic)
-Black sheet over part of the background to create a nice sharp line down the RHS of the bottle.
-100cm X 80ch softbox on the 90 degrees to the RHS.

Closer view... yes they are professionally approved salt and pepper shakers!

From this angle you can see the gap that creates the nice highlight down the RHS of the bottle.

From behind...

And it looks just as good with Red Wine.

Cheers,
Brad.
