The Espoo shootfest on 28th of Feb left me overwhelmed. Reachign for last the thread of reality, could this be true? The rude awakening came on monday morning. Good part was that the whole event was not just in my head, it actualy happend!
Our models fought the long day through pain and suffering (almost literaly ) and Noora worked at a feverish pitch to get a makeup after makeup done. My hat is is off for you! The eforts left me feeling quilty as my job seemed to be too easy.
I brought compact camera to shoot behind the scenes clips and snaps for the blog. Im not into video too much but the ‘home videos’ give you pretty good idea of what we did. A pic of maijus car trunk. Nooo, we did not have anything extra with us. Even forgot couple of bags at home.
More pictures dropping in to the blog during the week. I have couple of more to photoshop before I ship it all out.
1 video: shows all the cool shoes we shot. They might classified as a medevil torture equipment but they do look cool!
2 video: Sandra shooting Sini
3 video: Janne shooting
4 video: The gear – all I had with me to shoot fits in a very professional Ikea-bag. Notice the second blue bag = two ezyboxes.
Yet another video clip shot with the lumix. Went around the location and teased Maijus assistant Heidi. Did this all day long so you can imagine how much fun she had working with me.
Shot some amazing stuff (in my standards anyhow) on saturday. More of those tomorrow..
A motorsports shooter janne mäki came around and I tagged along as a assistant to get a freepass to rally sprint event. Learned a lot from him and had ton of fun just hanging around and talking shit. Heres the fellow with his lucky hat, sitting in the deep snow.. Looks like fun, rigth?
Being as I am a poor man I don’t have a loose money to invest in photography. Thus I have to find a ways to go around some problems because I just can’t walk in to a camera store and buy all the gear I can think of.
Luckily – as we all have learned from the man him self the great great D.H. – things don’t always have to be damn expensive.
Worst item I ever bought was a small soft box for 60e (Ought to sell it thou.) The best peace of gear I’ve bought is a white old bed sheet for 2e! (Sure the ezy is still my #1 peace of equipmet but it could have bought 65 of those bed sheets with the same money.)
1. the bed sheet, aka the silk
2. the snoot . This just one of many I’ve “build”. I attend to forget these at the location on every shoot thus I have to make new ones..
3. the straw grid.. everyone has these but I rarely use them
