Headshots Postponed...so it's an Office Instead

Aww, my little corporate headshots project was postponed at the last minute. It'll happen soon and when it does, I'll put up the results.
I did, however, execute the other part of the assignment which was to get a picture of the accountants' offices in Brighton: Blenheim House. I wanted it to be lit evenly; I knew it faced east, so I got up early and as expected, the front of the office was lit up nicely by the morning sun.
I used my trusty Sigma 12-24mm aspherical wide angle for this in order to give the building a bit of distortion, which kinda makes it look bigger than it really is.

The guy walking in front of it was purely intentional.....

Headshots for Crunch

I started work recently for a company called Crunch Accounting, based in Hove. It's a funky little company and I'm finally back into Java programming again after a 10 month break (not self-imposed, may I add).

Anyway, they caught wind of the fact that I'm a photographer and they want me to do some headshots of the three main honchos. It'll be for their website. I've also gotta shoot the outside of one of their buildings in Brighton, as well a small pic of the highly reflective, mirror-like name plaque outside their Hove office (in a rather nice old Dubarry Perfumery building). Err...that's gonna be interesting as I'll need to have it reflect something other than the rather unsightly railings! I'm thinking of holding up a white sheet or card, and bouncing a gelled flash at it. Remember, always light something that the reflective surface will reflect.

The headshot shoot is tomorrow, Friday and guess what? It's an 8am start!! Which means I have to get there for 7.30 to setup. It'll be a simple affair: two Speedlites aimed at a white wall to blow it out, and third Speedlite in a shoot-thru brolly up high and to the side to act as key. Bish bosh off we go.

I'll post the results.

Ta ta.

It's Over!

It's been a while, but the Open House finished up with about the same number of visitors as last year, 1200, and we sold more too. Phew. Enough already.

Was a good experience tho. We got a little work from it, a small modelling shoot for a fashion student, Lilly. Quick and easy and she liked the results..

Onwards and upwards...
