Dag 18: Jeg skyder et portræt til en hjemmeside

I dag var jeg på fotoopgave. En af mine venner har bedt mig om at fotografere et portræt til hendes hjemmeside. Jeg valgte også at bruge en grøn baggrund (green screen), for at kunne eliminere baggrunden - hvis der skulle være behov for det. Den grønne baggrund lavede jeg ud af 9 stykker af A3-papir (samlede omkostninger 100 kr.). Ikke en perfekt løsning fandt jeg ud af senere, da samlingerne imellem de enkelte papirer blev synlige via kant og skygge. 
I Photoshop vil jeg derefter slette den grønne baggrund, hvormed portrættet får en transparent baggrund og efterfølgende kan monteres på flere forskellige baggrund på hendes hjemmeside.

Her kan du se mit hjemmestudioopsætning:


Jeg anvender to Elinchrom D-Lite-flash enheder - en monteret med en Soft Box (200w) og en med en Beauty Dish med diffusor (400w). På et tidspunkt havde jeg endda to Speedlight (SB-900 / SB-600) inkluderet i opsætningensom jeg styrede via nogle PocketWizards. I kameraets flash sko er fjernbetjening til både Elinchrom & Speedlight (PocketWizard) monteret.

Til dette foto fjernede jeg det grønne baggrund, og brugte i stedet en platinfarvet baggrund.


Jeg er tilfreds med lysfordelingen. Der er to Catch Light i hendes øjne - et fra Soft Box og et fra Beauty Dish. Jeg placerede Beauty Dish'en en anelse over hendes hoved for at skabe skygger på den ene side af ansigtet.

Two Paths - Day 64

Days are going by - time is flying - we are getting older - the world is moving. Tic Tac Tic Tac. My professional career has come to a halt and it's time to reflect about the possibilities that opens up in such a situation. It's been a month since I stopped at Strålfors and all days (and some nights) has been used to reflect upon this situation. I've chosen to follow the obvious path - find a new job - and all my network is being activated. But another path has slowly emerged - and to no ones surprise - this path evolves around photography. I'm not talking about becoming a photographer, but to become part of the industry. Tomorrow I'll fly to Stockholm to meet some interesting people who successfully has opened a photography museum in Stockholm - Fotografiska.eu - and I'm going to here about their project and journey. The photo that I shot this afternoon in the woods nearby my home symbolise the break from Strålfors and the two new paths that I've ch...

Press photographer has to face a lot of moral issues

Every year we hear about press photographers being killed while trying to capture a decisive photo and document the truth. They also have to face a bunch of moral issues while being close to death and people in need of help. In my opinion it is vital to capture a photo that can influence decisions on a large scale. But when faced with the choice of either keep taking pictures or trying to change the course of a situation by personal interaction (and maybe risk your own life), I can only imaging the moral issues a press photographer must deal with in a few decisive seconds.
