In conjunction with my previous post I have discovered a great free desktop application, for tracking the sun’s movememnt through the day at any location throughout the world. Thanks to a blog post on David Tejada’s site. You can now use the ‘The photographer’s Ephemeris‘ Tool to see very comprehensive information about the Sun and Moon’s position overlaid on a satellite image map. If used with the Elevation of Obstacle Calculator you can determine the precise distance of shadow fall from an object with the sun behind.
Cintra’s new website is now live. The cambridge based translation and interpreting company asked me to photograph their staff over 2 days in August to provide assets for a new website. Due to the high number of calls made to the companies booking team and the different staff available on any given day. It was not possible to shoot all of the staff together at one time and so we decided to shoot the group of about 20 staff in 4 groups which were then comped together using photoshop. An example of the result will be posted soon.
Just read this interesting article by Martin Parr the famous Magnum documentary photographer on how to take better holiday photographs. Not sure I agree with documenting everything including your trip to the supermarket! http://gu.com/p/2j7t8/tw
I often get asked to produce portraits which are friendly and approachable especially corporate portraits. Traditionally these tended to be be very formal boardroom, desk type shots with very little character.
The need to have web profiles, avatars and press releases has contributed to the style of these portraits changing. There is often a limited amount of time to shoot many subjects in a variety of poses and with multiple backgrounds. My preferred method to make best use of limited time is to use the existing daylight when available and filing shadows with reflectors. This allows a fast turnaround of location background and subject poses. Below are examples of available and artificial light portraits all taken using interior office locations or nearby exterior locations, sometimes with many changes of location. Very often portraits are produced during conferences or between board meetings.
