Creative Baby Portrait Photography

Published at: 10:02 am - Thursday February 02 2012

 

This image was inspired by Jill Greenberg‘s crying baby series. Apart from removing my hand from the image no major digital  re-touching was required for the image.

Screen capture from Phocus RAW conversion software.

To create this image 5 lights were used :

  • Hensel Compact 1200 w/2m Parabolic umbrella used as a massive diffused fill light.
  • Hensel 1200W w/ beauty dish as a top hair light.
  • 2x Elinchrom strobe heads w/ Photobasics strip softbox powered by Elinchrom Digital RX 2400 power pack.
  • Broncolor Mobil w/mobilite head and snoot & grid. Battery powered pack.

Our Photography Equipment: Hasselblad Professional Digital Medium Format Camera

Published at: 11:01 pm - Tuesday January 31 2012

Our reason for purchasing the Hasselblad H2D was for its stunning image quality when compared to the current DSLR on the market.

  • 16bit Image Capture. When compared to DSLRs that only capture images at 10-14bit the images from the digital medium format have a greater tonal range.
  • Larger Sensor. the 49mmx36mm sensor is twice the size of any full frame DSLR which is only 36mmx24mm.
  • Leaf Shutter lenses. the Hasselblad HC series lenses sync to flash at up to 1/800th of a sec compared to DSLRs that have a maximum sync speed of 1/200th

The Hasselblad HC 80mm /2.8 is considered one of the best portrait lenses on the market today and is the standard lens for the H system.

Hasselblad  HC 50-110mm /3.5-4.5  zoom lens has a range from wide-angle to short telephoto. This lens boasts exceptionally high image quality at all focal lengths, whether shooting film or digital, and is comparable with corresponding fixed focal length lenses.

Studio Family Portrait Photography

Published at: 11:01 pm - Monday January 09 2012

 

Family portrait photography in our melbourne studioFamily portrait photography in our melbourne studio

I photographed our family (the Ma and Lee family) in our West Melbourne photography studio. Images were captured on the high resolution medium format camera – The Hasselblad digital camera. I prefer using this camera for portraits because of its ability to capture detail better than any digital SLR used by most Professional Photographers today.

Hair & Make-up Artist: Nathalie Prince
Talent: Laura-Jane
Location: West Melbourne Studio

 

In November I was asked by Make-up Artist Nathalie to photograph her entry to the bodyography make-up competition. The look we were trying to achieve was an androgynous look to Laura Jane.  Sadly, it didn’t make it into the finals this time but I think we got a few awesome photos.

Studio Lighting:

With the photography we wanted to capture it with minimal digital re-touching afterwards.

lighting set up for beauty fashion photographyThe beauty dish with a honey comb grid was used close to the talent which produces a light that falls off around the face.

The Westcott Parabolic umbrella is used as a fill light and to create a high light in the eyes. Image is at 100%

 

Equipment:
Camera & Settings: Hasselblad H2D / 50-110 f11 1/250th
Lighting: Elinchrom Digital RX2400, Elinchrom 202, FlashPro 500 monoblocs, Westcott silver Parabolic umbrella
