2018 Video round up.

This year has sped past at a rapid rate. It’s been an awesome year for photography. We’ve been to some amazing places and worked and met with some fantastic people.
Here’s just a few highlights.

We shot 3 video’s in this series. A from start to finish step by step. The weather was ‘interesting’ on the day, the crew were made of stern stuff and we all enjoyed a proper Italian hot chocolate in the studio after we finished shooting!

    This was a fun shoot with Liam, who we have known forever! Great shots as he got totally in character (and added some comic clips too).

    It’s always a blast when If-E comes to visit. We put the world to rights with copious amounts of tea and shoot some wicked photos!

    Honestly had the hardest job to narrow down the choice to just a few, each video shoot has been a pleasure. Catch all of this years Adorama shoots here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL821B7D720DEA39FA

    Thanks to everyone that’s been with us and watched and commented. Here’s to an amazing 2019!

    Scary Halloween Basement Shoot

    When Kerry said she was available for a shoot, even though it was only August, we knew it should be a Halloween shoot. Not sure why but most of the models, make up artists and quite a lot of photographers love this theme!

    Despite the scary look, this was such a fun shoot. Also the first time I’ve had to clear up blood drops and splatters from the studio walls and floor, thank goodness all fake!!

    As you’ll see in the video, the blood used was tried out first. The one used for the closest skin contact, especially on the bandages close to Kerry’s eye, was homemade. I used a mix of runny honey, a little cornflour and some red food colour gel. As it was edible and Kerry likes honey!

     

    Home Studio to Mini Music Venue

    It’s always fun when we get IF-E in the studio and this video was no exception. Gavin likes to push the boundaries and overcome the limitations of working in the same small space and this was another cracking example.

    Some great lighting and obviously the smoke machine provide the right vibe for IF-E to bang out some lyrics and attitude (he’s great at that!).

    The set up started with just one light progressing through to adding further lights for a variety of looks. The addition of smoke gives a different mood to the shots, as the smoke moves and dissipates the look changes.

    Check out the video to see the entire shoot.
