Corina

25 April 2013

A portrait of a beautiful subject - we always like to do a portrait in addition to the concepts we do on a shoot. Every portrait is carefully and lovingly retouched to render our subjects in the best possible way. This is a portrait of Corina, who was wonderful to work with. We really liked her multi-tone shiny jacket-it is a light magnet! Corina was shot using daylight balanced bare flash for an edge, a umbrella for key at camera top hovering at an angle towards her face (I chose this configuration as Corina has high cheeks), and a reflector to kick back some light from below for fill and glamour.

Inner Fire

18 April 2013

The hunger for success is a fire that begins within. Take Pat for example. I know from working with him that he's as determined and tough as they come. Every shoot we've done with him, he keeps going till we get that shot. Incidentally this is also the philosophy that underlies every image we create at Max Photography - we keep pushing for that elusive image that hopefully makes you come back for a second look. Strobe Info: 1 full CTO gelled edge light at camera left, 1 bare strobe at camera right, key is a gridspot at camera top left, umbrella for fill. This configuration provides for a nice edgy light that works well on Pat. Post processing to create the background and red tones to suit the 'fire' theme brings it all in. Interested in working with us? Drop us a line and let's explore the possibilities...

Lady in Red

01 April 2013

Here's another one of our hyper-realistic portraits featuring the gorgeous Viven Vu. I chose the entrance to the National Portrait Gallery as the background to supplement the natural beauty of Vivien. Given the modern looking entrance and warm tones, Vivien was shot in an outfit that blended with the environment-the red complements the colour theme and is modern. Full post processing for multiple/blue red tones completes the look. Strobe info: 2 large silver umbrellas for edge lights, 1 softbox for key and a shoot through for fill.
