Jake and I have something in common; our dream job is to work for Pixar. Seriously if you own the movie Monsters, Inc., check out the behind the scenes about working at Pixar - paper airplane competitions, encouraged to play with toys, scoot down hallways, and live monkeys! Jake is looking to get into Stout to start his journey by learning about game design and character animation. So cool!
Due to our October weekends being booked, the only time I could meet Jake and his mom Julie was after school on a weekday. And with October having shorter days, I got to break out my off camera flashes for some pretty awesome shots. Big thanks again to Pierre & his After Dark Workshop I attended last Sunday where I picked up some new techniques. And a huge thanks to Julie for being my off camera flash assistant for the shoot!
Here is a sneak peak...
Capturing the last of the Sunset at the Union.
Here I used a couple flashes, one to camera left, and one behind Jake. Love the shadow capture here!
Using the glass blocks at the Union from the outside, normally people shoot on the inside with the daylight lighting the subject.
Most shots were with architecture on the shoot, so we found some nice green growing on... some architecture! so I guess it was all architecture! : )
Thanks again to Jake for running across busy streets with me to get to locations and to his mom Julie for helping light the scene up!
It's fantastic how you immediately used what you learned from the workshop for this shoot. The photos came out amazing! I'm sure your client is very happy with all the images. You even prevented getting glare on his glasses. Great job!
