HOLLYWOOD INSPIRED POSTERS WITH SHALEENA BAIN

Inspired by the Hollywood Movie Posters of yester year.

Working with Shaleena was an absolute joy, full of enthusiasm, a wide range of costumes and and assortment of fitting accessories, hair & makeup on point. Set in the Old Museum in Bowen Hills being the ideal location for our 3 hour shoot.

Shooting only on black and white film from Kodak and Rollei (35mm). With my 2x Canon A1 cameras on 50mm lenses (1x Canon 50mm f/1.4 Chrome Nose and 1x Canon A1 50mm f1/.4 SSC). With Minnie Behn-Katz assisting.

Composited in Adobe Photoshop CC (2021).

The lighting setup: Manfrotto Boom, cheap lightstand (for softbox), 2x Godox ML60 LED (60 watt) both set to daylight colour temperature.

HOLLYWOOD STYLE WITH SHALEENA BAIN

Shaleena Bain, a Gold Coast entertainer, model and performer. Together we shot a number of portraits at the Old Museum in Bowen Hills Brisbane Queensland. Built around the 1920s, was the perfect location for our styled shoot.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Shaleena on such a fun and creative shoot. Looking forward to working with her again soon…

• Manfrotto 420B, Godox ML60 LED x2, inexpensive light stand (for the soft box),
  Godox Beauty Dish 54cm Silver with Bowens mount (silver for higher
  contrast, white for less) with grid, S2 Bracket (for Bowens mount adaption),
  inexpensive rectangular soft box, Kodak Tri-x 400, Canon A1, Canon 50mm f/1.4.

• 2 light setup, ideally suited for flexibility when on location. More
  than 3 lights might be a stretch.

Soft, beautiful glow on Shaleena’s face, from camera right (beauty dish) and some slight fill / spill.

Soft box to the left, Beauty Dish to the top right.

Probably my favourite.
