I had a great photoshoot this week with Camille, who brought some great vintage hats to wear. She has a really subtle forlorn/tragic look that I love. We shot a bunch of different ideas I had kicking around the studio, and she was very patient with my experimenting process, which made everything go really smoothly. We got some really good stuff, I’m looking forward to sharing it.
I found this great video on DIY Photography’s page, showing a behin the scenes look at a photoshoot by Horst P. Horst from the 1940s. I love this kind of thing. If everyone is using HMI lights and small flashes, I totally want to start using giant oldschool hollywood lights and fresnel lenses. Stand there smoking a cigarette, studying the light and then finally drop a negative into a large format camera and release that shutter. So cool.
Also, check out that fill light position!
