Will Sanders Photography!

I helped Nadine assist a shoot one Sunday for her husband, Will Sanders. It was shot at South Bank in London, and I had a lot of fun at this shoot! Will shoots all film, and has several cameras he takes to shoots with him, and gets shots from each of them. He was shooting both medium format and small format. It was cool to go back to the good ole days of film. I decided that when I get back to RCC, I am going to shoot more film, and process and print back in the part of school I have not been in since the summer. Will's website is great for anyone who likes these shots. I took tons of snapshots here. All the ones above the text are Will's, all the shots under this text are mine.

Mini Moderns

This was something I did in the studio one day for Ashley's neighbor, a graphic designer. He designed a collection of plastic ware/picnic ware, and I photographed it all for his website. They are adorable designs, go check out the website! mini moderns.

The photos I did are all the Moo! Collection.

Aricept Shoot Location 2

The second part of the Aricept campaign was shot in the National Museum of History in London. We used the same models, and shot this the day after the beach trip. We had to be at the museum at 6 am that morning, so we could shoot before the museum opened. It was terrible to get up early, but a reward to be able to be in the museum when no one else could be. If you look in the background of the final, you see me pretending to be visiting the museum haha (In the white). The lens used for this was an extreme wide angle lens. It actually made a big circle, and was cropped in. Ashley has spent a lot of time on this shot, tweaking it so the client approved, and I think he did a good job with it.

Aricept Shoot Location 1

This is one of the shoots I assisted Ashley for over internship. The shoot was the first week I was in London, but it has taken a long time for a decision from the ad agency on the shot they wanted. We drove to a place called Milford-On-Sea in England to do the shoot, my first time at a UK beach! Notice the pebbles instead of sand! It was a really fun day and laid back shoot. Enjoy the snapshots I took of the shoot. The drug Aricept is used for people who have Alzheimer's.

Tanja Business Portrait

I shot this for Tanja, a girl who lives in the flat above Ashley's studio.  Her boyfriend is Leigh, the guy in the photo on my blog laughing.  She is applying for a job in advertising at a corporate company in London, and wanted a photo for the application that was unique and showed her personality.  It was shot with a Canon Mark 2, with a 24-70 mm lens.

Me by Ashley Cameron

Ok, so Ashley made me model to test out some lighting, and then he fixed it up so I didn't look hideous.  We were testing out lighting styles that I might like to use for when I shot my portrait of Leigh.  We did quite a few different lighting styles and setups, but I personally wanted to experiment with getting a glow around the face for my first portrait.  It is a better technique to use with males, rather than females, because males have stubbly faces already.  It shows all texture on females!  But he was managed to bring out my eyes in it!  This is Ashley's site, in case you were curious about seeing who I am interning for here in London!  He is really good!!  You will enjoy seeing his work!  http://www.ashleycameron.com

Leigh

This may be the start of a series I try and do of laughing people who seem to be enjoying themselves.  This was also the very first photo I have done with lighting/etc since being on internship that is my photo.  Ashley helped me to accomplish the lighting style I liked, and Leigh was kind enough to model for me.  It was shot using a Canon Mark 2.  Thank you again to Ashley, who taught me some of the ways to make the photo pop more in photoshop.  It took around 4 times redoing the retouching before I was able to make it look like this, and I am excited for everyone to see it!  

London Tree

I went on a fun photo tour of London Last night with Andy, and found this cool tree.  I had him run across to get a cool effect.  I like the eerie green.  Thanks to Ashley for helping me make it look cool with Photoshop!

Smoke!

After (adding smoke to the original)

Ashley taught me how to add smoke to an image in Photoshop here, so you will see the before shot, and then you will see the after, in which I added the cigarette smoke!!

Get them on Ebay

As practice for doing cutouts and drop shadows in photoshop, Ashley had me photograph some of the items he is planning to sell on ebay.  Although I found shooting these items booring at first, it was fun learning all sorts of shortcuts and tricks on getting these shadows.  Here are some of them, to be for sale on ebay soon!
