NATURAL LIGHT PORTRAIT W ANNIE MORALES

Sat morning with Annie. Beautiful sunny day, perfect for a natural light dance portrait shoot. Having been a short time since I shot a portrait in complete natural light, I thought this would give better flexibility with location… including a railway station.

A mix of ballet, contemporary and fashion.

Shooting on 2x Kodak Gold 200 and 1x Tri-x 400, Canon A1, Canon 50mm f/1.4 SSC in Brisbane City, but mostly Fortitude Valley.

Natural Light in Monotone. Mega Mood.

Check out Annie on the Instragram. Ballet, contemporary, Pilates (soon). 

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.
