Parkour Strobe


This one was also extremely hard to put together, I used the same stratgie as the rollerblading sequence in editing

I used the same floor i used for the rollerblading shot

I then cut out the boxes and cloned in a larger gap with the shadows to fit whole body shots in the sequence.

I then cut out the model individually to keep the pure black background.

I then put a slihgt vignette over the floor

This again was extremely hard to put together due the studio room when had to work with.

This is around 3 different sequences put together to make one big shot due to the room we had.
1 run up shot, 1 trick shot and 1 landing shot

Rollerblading Strobe


This sequences was extremely hard to put together as i needed more space when shooting which made the editing extremely hard.

I have taken small parts out of all the floor shots and merged them into one long floor.

I then cut out the rail to use as the main rail

I then individually cut out each sequences shot to maintain the pure black background.

I then took parts of legs and skates and cloned them over the parts where the rail was ontop of the skater

I then finished by adding a slight vignette over the floor

It took around 6 hours of straight editing with no breaks

This is around 3 different sequences put together to make one big shot due to the room we had.
1 run up shot, 1 trick shot and 1 landing shot

playing with designs


Im not using this i just figured i would post it

Velvet Couch Clothing





















Velvet Couch Clothing

Model - Steven Bickerton

I shot this with the intention of doing composites, I shot it mid grey to make it slight easier to put a darker composite background in.

I lit this the same way as peter coulson, 1 single soft light pushing the model back and forth to create the background i wanted. No need to complicate the lighting with this shoot.

In Male fashion there is fine line between whether you should cut off the head off or leave the head on.

I have tried to leave the head in and not identify the model by tring to hide his face.

VC photoshoot planning



I never go into a photoshoot with a detailed plan in my head on how i am will light style and pose a studio photoshoot.

Velvet Couch Clothing - Fashion - Commercial Advertising

Model - Steven Bickerton

Time - Limit 1 hour - Saturday - CIT studio

I will be shooting on the cyc really far back using only 1 light. This will be me a dark grey background which i will later overlay textures. I will use a boom to get my light at the right height with a reflector dish on the light. I will shoot it into a diffuser which i will be able to control the level of harshness by moving it closer and further away from the diffuser. This will give me harsh dark shadows and a nice solid dark grey background.

My inspiration for this shoot is from a hurley ad
