How i shot, what i shot, and why…

Here is an image from my second promotional fitness shot with Mark “Boxfit” personal trainer, taken at a local park in ilford. I do love shooting on location when the sun is just right, and am able to dial down all the excess light.

DATE: 23/5/10

CAMERA: Canon 500d

LIGHT SOURCE: Canon Speed light 430 EX mk2, through a 28inch umbrella – Camera Left, i cant remember the power settings but its possible the flash was set to 1/4 power

LENS: Canon EF-S 18-55 mm at 27mm

EXPOSURE: 1/200th at F/4.0

ISO: 100

RETOUCHED: No

WHY THIS SHOT: this was captured mid flow, whilst mark was throwing boxing combinations. I like the intensity of his concentration. With ensight i would liked to have position Mark to avoid the mix of red brick and stone.

How i shot, what i shot and why…

Here i have gone back to my very first photo-shoot out on location, yes the dreaded first shoot, where nerves and butterflies created earthquakes and volcanoes, through my entire being hahahaha… Im not sure if having Immnse as very close friend helped or made it all worst? i do remember he was late which really didn’t help 😉 however we got on with it a produced some nice work. 🙂

The photo-shoot was for his “pandemic” album

How i shot, what i shot and why…

This will be a new series of posts, where i’m going back to my earlier days as a photographer, and talking about, as the title states “How i shot, what i shot and why” giving a description of the equipment used, camera settings, light diagrams and anything else i feel needs to be added to explain how the images where created.

Hopefully this will help me and those that choose to interact. Thanks for checking out tis post..

Peace, JC out…
