Nude Photography 03

Briefing: I was approached by a TV presenter, that doing 35 years, wanted to have anude photo shoot with treatment of men’s magazine. This test would appear as areminder and if someone is interested, we could publish it.

Production: We decided by common agreement that production would be in a different house in a luxury condominium. Would be taken quite accessories, some lingerie, and also the service of a full time makeup artist, who was chosen the competent Marcos Antunes.

Photo Shoot: We arrived early at the location, and a good surprise, the house was wonderful. A quick tour, along with Renato Moraes, who would do a mix with the making of test and marking of sets is defined. Time to install the equipment. In this case I opted for a generator flash Atek, with umbrellas and scrim jim and camera as the Canon 5D Mark, that the option to make cut in post production to stay viable. All done, let’s shoot.

Comment: When photographing nudes always enjoy working with experienced professionals in this type of picture, and use a lot of relaxed conversation, to let the model’s confortable, and get a result that pleases everyone involved, even those whoenjoy the photos. Unfortunately I can not post pictures yet, but I leave you with the test video.

Another post! This picture was very fun to do, and at the end of the shoot, eat.
Briefing: I was looking for a restaurant to produce a photo for an announcement of year end and would be used for magazine advertisement and banners. The idea would basically produce a dish that had a Christmas atmosphere, would be visually attractive and not necessarily a dish sophisticated and expensive. The choice of Chester was the one that proved the most accurate.
Production: I must confess that I am not very adept at photographing food, given the difficulties of enforcement. But in this case, as the restaurant owner was willing to produce it by following a few guidelines of the photographer, we moved forward. The photograph of food has many secrets, but one is that the best pictures are produced with the dishes coming out of the stove, with its brightness and a minus retouch! Food like food!
Execution: I chose to use a movie set with lights, because it would have a better control on the lighting! General illumination was made with a Chinese lantern, 2000 K,
Fresnel against the light and sides with the Mandrake distribution. How were pictures for magazines, I chose a Nikon D70s (8mpx, but a fabulous color) and loved and idolized Nikkor 85 1.8 mechanics. Made the test light, and the product well made and beautifully decorated in less than 30 minutes the picture was produced.
Additional Comment: As I am increasingly inclined to take photos in the traditional manner, dealing with the digital equipment only as a substitute for film, with care in production, running light and click on the whim, the final picture was absolutely free Photoshop, only items Color in Lightroom.

 

This make my day

Hello! Friends of this blog, I’m back after another long absence. Today’s post is a photo I have this week and that gave me an enormous pleasure for the result. I was hired to run a photograph of a clinic for aesthetic and theme of the campaign is to show a picture that associate a perfect skin to a touch of sophistication. In the pre-meeting photo, it was determined that the production had to be simple, not to steal the focus, which would be the beauty. With some ideas, previously filtered, which won the piece was a reminder Breakfast at Tiffany’s, it would be a good link to all the concepts you want in the campaign. Model chosen, Nathan Tabata (First), make up, production at hand, let’s set, which is the diagram below. The shoot went quickly, because everything was all oiled and then happened some thing that causes us not to abandon the profession. When the session was that moment of relaxation, the model set yet, I saw a scene that reminded me of Sharon Stone in the movie The Specialist. New positioning and a few clicks and ok! Let’s go home, it’s too late. In the following day I am called the agency and surprise! The picture would not be conveyed to the lay out, but one of the last outlets!!

This case has my respect to the Creative Director of Seabra & Terreri, Victor Seabra that inside your talent, you accept the greatness of another creation, which is not his, but that has added value to the campaign’s biggest customer.

Cover making of

A cover of a magazine is always very important for all involved, either because they leverage sales of the magazine, is the portfolio of photographer and model. Then the production details that have most often escape to readers. Then we go:

Meeting of creation: For the cover of the magazine INBOUL the creative staff has determined that the theme would be “City Vision”. What I would have to do something that would lead to a referral of large cities and that still maintain a pleasant climate.

Production: With my philosophy of trying to not complicate things, and bearing in mind the directive of creation, for choosing the particular model, which fell  on this future top model, Duda Morais, that its clean look, with her short hair, and therefore outside the standards of current models, look like the street kids. For the clothes chosen by only a shirt male, recalling the situation of modern girl who sleeps in the house of the boyfriend.

Implementation: For the photo sessions, as almost always work alone, without assistants, I have chosen a basic lighting, with only an umbrella and a gold reflector. The makeup woman Ge, has done an excellent job, with a clean makeup, that the situation demanded. I always  work with films, and I know that visor is more  i important to look digital displays, and provided with excellent work of the model, we have only 40 clicks, in more or less 30 minutes, desqualifying  the myth that in the digital age, we need 1000 images to achieve an interesting result.

Post production: Choosed 5 pictures that could give a good result, left for finalisation, made by the director of art Matheus, of retoucher company  Audace, which chose to run a background in 3d, recalling a graffiti wall , which actually completed the climate that I had imagined. Lights yellow applied to complement, basically the yellow reflector that I had applied in the photo, were made with the five test pictures chosen and the result is this:
