The studio opening day was looming being only 1 week away but I could not wait until after then to shoot in the space, not to mention I had picked up paint rollers and hammers more often than a camera over the last 2 months whilst getting the studio ready.
So I contacted my good friend and sometimes assistant Mark Boadey and we arranged a shoot. I wanted mark to shoot also as he helped me get the space ready... seriously when I outgrow this space and move to a larger one Mark will be commissioned to build me a cyc wall (aka infinity cove) and I will probably just get in the way as normal.
Thank you Mark for your help and support.
Of course to shoot you need somebody to stand on set looking good, sure you can buy a mannequin but the conversation is crap. Thankfully we were able to book Dee who was great to work with and looked great at any angle in any light. Thank you Dee for an enjoyable first shoot in the studio.
Below are some images from the shoot. It felt good to start getting a feel for the space (and pick up the camera) and to also finally realise I now have a studio.... holy S**T what have I done :).
I am back in the space this Saturday to work on a few white seamless sets ready for a band shoot later this month. On to the images.
If you click on the images it will load them in a light-box for you.
Started with the worlds most comfortable chair, Dee and a 28" silver beauty dish on set. Oh and some Laminate floor.
Then it was time to roll out the Grey seamless and try a few different looks.
Grabbed a shot of Mark whilst he stood in to test light. As well as an hilarious shot of him wearing Dee's fringe.
I then set-up using 2 lights and some gels in the studios meeting corner.
The last set of the day was white seamless.
Wrapped the day up with a group shot.
Now the space is open I can not wait to get to work in it. The space has plenty of potential and I am looking forward to finding out what I can produce over the coming months.
Thank you for reading.
