Photo Studio – The 2014 Take

Olivier working on his Charlie Winston look. It will take a few more years for the final unshaved look – so plenty of time to learn how to handle a guitar properly.

18 months ago, we were at the Light Studio for our second shoot (http://lightstudios.org/) – two blog articles and a few pictures, this was our result at the time.

We were back in studio last week on the invitation from Pierre and Tatiana. For our third visit we were all pumped up to do better. So here we go with props and plenty of clothes ready for an extremely tiring morning ….

We used a standard setup, white backdrop and two lights. One main light coming from the left, with a very large softbox lower down at child-height – and a secondary light on the right hand-side to limit the shadows and simplify post-processing work.

Something we learned with the years – if you want 3 (or more) people smiling at the same time, then you need to either hire a clown (which we didn’t have) – or try to create dynamic poses. Picture from Pierre.

We went all the way with this princess setup. Obviously the model was more than pleased to comply with our wishes. Only the natural smile was tricked into Chiara.

Father and son vs. mother and daughter series. Same thing here – we had dozens of takes to be able to find a handful with both models smiling at the same time. The guys are winning this time ?

One which will probably end up framed in our house. We have hundred of pictures of them smiling separately but having them together this is a rare moment captured perfectly . Photo attributed to Sabrina 😉
