Lucy & Touch of Class

On Saturday I spent 8 hours with the beautiful Lucy Sky Diamond doing one last shoot before she moves to Canada. We started in the studio and then moved to amazing heritage listed B&B. 

The hotel had amazing decor and the building didn't have a level floor anywhere (it made it interesting to say the least). 

If you are in Perth, Western Australia next weekend, make sure you see Lucy at the Perth International Burlesque Festival.

Lucy will also performing at the PA Burlesque Festival (Pennsylvania) and the Ottawa Burlesque Festival later in the year.

Lucy is wearing her blue Ombré costume by Corsets by Nasty Ginny in this photo.

BTS (Behind the Scenes)

This shot is actually incredibly simple but does require some knowledge of colour temperature. The main light from the right is a 80'' octabox with grid in another room. No flash was used, only the warm modelling light. As it was dusk, I wanted to mix the ambient light from the window behind Lucy with the key light from the octabox. The strobe would have been too blue and made the overall colour a lot more flat. Keeping it with the modelling light only, gave me a contrast with the ambient being blue and the key light warming Lucy up. The trade off is that I needed to shoot at a high ISO, in this case 1600. 

Before and After Post-Processing

As you can see from the before and after above, there isn't a huge amount of changes done to the image. I removed the smoke detector from the ceiling and some lines from the walls. I tone down the purple and contrast slightly and selectively sharpened Lucy. Lastly I reshaped the ceiling slightly so it's no so tilted. The actual building is completely skewed, but that is the charm of older buildings.

Lucy & the Lyra

On Sunday we spent a couple of hours photographing Lucy Sky Diamond on the Lyra (Ariel Hoop) at Circ's'cool

Challenging for both model and photographer but lots of fun as well.

Lucy wore three different vintage outfits for the shoot, the one in this shot is a 1960's showgirls costume from Liverpool UK.

We cannot wait to show more from this shoot, but Supanova Pop Culture Expo tour starts today, so we all have to wait.

Big thanks to Reese Truscott for being my assistant on the day.

Nina

Quite a while ago I did a shoot for Nanna's Coffee + Vintage. The images are to be used as part of advertising and branding with a fun twist. While that is still ongoing, I ask if I could share a image of first time model Nina that I love. This shot doesn't fit the brief of the project, but it's way to good to not be shown the light of day.

Vintage Shoot

We spent yesterday photographing vintage clothes with coffee, cake, milkshakes and even pumpkins for Nanna's Coffee & Vintage.

The photos will be used as an fun advertising campaign which will be, like vintage, something old being reused as something new. It's also going to be a bit silly. 

We had a great time with the models Nina, Janelle, Jessica and Erin. As always Allie Hill did an awesome job with make-up.

The adverts will start appearing in the near future, I'll make sure that this blog and Facebook get updated as they are released.

 

Nina looking amazing, (taken using Instagram).
