It’s been a hectic month, editing videos, taking photos, and training for my new found love, Muay Thai. September is fast approaching, and the reality show that I’m currently editing is going to premiere soon on AXN. Don’t forget to catch it. Here’s the teaser to uhmm.. tease you :)
Back to the photos.
One of the challenges of this shoot was the lack of time to scout for the location. The first location/set was almost pitch black. Admittedly, I thought that the ambient light would be sufficient at least for the camera to focus on the subject. I was dead wrong. But rather than giving up in the battle against darkness, I stayed on and persevered. I used an application in the iPhone that served as a temporary light to help me brighten up the subject so that I could focus on the subject, and set up the flashes accordingly. As you can see from the photos below, the flashes did their job.
This type of situation, on the other hand, actually gives you an opportunity to be more creative and to be more alert. As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher.
One of the most important jobs as photogs is to manage unfavorable lighting conditions well.
By the way, I’ve included my self-made diagram of how the lights were set up for this location, and have also done the same for 2 other locations with more favorable lighting. Enjoy!
