Bodybuilders and some killer swords - PHOTOSHOOT

in #photography7 years ago

We all express ourselves through different ways, here is one individual called Dean i met him at the Gym. At first he looked intimidating i mean he is built like a tank but funnily i discovered this world of body builders at the gym who all turned out to be extremely nice guys. Funny how stereotypes work!

It turned out dean had a few hobbies from drawing, photography and collecting weapons of mass destruction haha if there ever was a zombie outbreak i know where i'm going.

One day at the gym we were just talking and we put together this photoshoot, the location was easy i knew a dark alley which was kind of shifty, i wouldn't normally go down there and shoot late at night but today i was armed with a body builder and a bag full of swords fit enough for a final fantasy movie.

I wanted to try out some slow shutter speed light trails with the sword being wielded in different patterns. However after a good hour of digging through camera settings and searching forums i discovered my camera and flash weren't compatible to do rear curtain sync. Bummer.

I always carry random things in my bag and i had one flash and a led light used by mechanics as a bonnet light. So i used the flash as a backlight and the front light was the led light which had a horrible colour cast and just about gave of light, it was like a little candle.

I had the flash on the lowest power and really far away but i was at ridiculously low apertures as it was so dark and the led light was so weak. If i could go back i'd probably take a softbox with me and diffuse the backlight a bit more somehow. Or maybe just use led lights overall.
