Shooting the footwear

This is mostly for me to remember exactly where the lights are for the next footwear shots.

This is the hotshots studio

I have decided that i should take off 2 of my proposed strobe sequences out of my final folio. I have a few reasons for this decision and I believe it is for the best.

- My main athletes have dropped out on me for the final 2 photoshoots, although I can get more athletes from the sports i have already photographed which is not the final look i wanted in my folio.

- The athletes I am able to photograph are not as skilled as others and the images may end up unusable purely because style and skill is a main part of this series.

- I already have 3 acrylic prints of the other sequences printing in Melbourne and the turn around is too long to get new ones back before the exhibition.

- Quality over quantity! I now have a series of three strobe sequences I should focus on creating quality images for the rest of my folio.

ps. My crazy unicycle athlete doesn’t own a unicycle anymore =[=[=[

I will continue to try find athlete that will produce the final product i am looking for and hopefully i can get two more shots done in time for printing.

Footwear designs

This is the start of my designs, I want to show the footwear of each individual sports. I want to have one action shot of them wearing the footwear and then one of the worn out product shot.

The action shots will all be shot with my 70-200mm lens to have the same look in each shot and I will light all of them using my speedlights.

All the footwear shots will be done at my work studio (hotshots) shot from the top of a ladder looking down using the 24-70mm lens to all have the exact same lighting and distortions.

Video 2

This is my 2nd video - its a walkthrough on how I light my action sports images.

Night Parkour

Brendan Jones - Kong to Roll

I have flipped this shot horizontally because of the way people read (left to right). This makes the photo a bit more pleasant to look at, I have also taken out some distracting elements in the background.

Blair Wilson - Flag

I really like the simplicity of this shot, by taking everything else out the photo then becomes a bit more abstract and much more appealing to look at.

I wont be using this shot purely because the trick is not refined enough and is a bit sloppy.
