First of all I do apoligise that their was no update last week but hopefully things should be back on track.
On Sunday the 6th February post I mentioned that I may be doing studio work at TAFE and in fact that did happen. It was my first time that I had ever stepped into a studio and so I was a bit apprehensive at first but it was a interesting experience although I am not sure weather I would go into that area myself, I do seem to prefer natural light over flash although that may be because I dont yet own a off camera flash?
We shot product namely Shampoo & Conditioner.... which can be seen below and on Flickr
2 softboxes off camera left & right with white card behind the bottles was used.
I am enjoying TAFE although it is a heavy schedule and not getting much time to get out and shoot for myself at the momment, hopefully this changes.... As we continue to learn "the natural way" using grey cards etc with Andre, Jane our other teacher seems to believe in photoshop quite largely and apparently is going to teach us image manipulation..... which I dont really believe in fully but it is part of the process and will take away only what is necessary in learning the digital darkroom although it is one extreme to the next (Jane believes in photoshop & Andre believes as I do small improvements are the way).
We are learning Colour Theory at the momment with Jane & continue to learn lighting with Andre.
Anyway now we move onto the movie review of Teenage Paparazzo which was recently on Foxtels On Demand Channel.
Directed by HBO, Arena & SBS Star of "Entourage" Adrian Grenier the film/documentary follows the story of a 14 year old paparazzo by the name of Austin Visschedyk as he photographs celebrities like Paris Hilton on the streets. Adrian a star himself wanted to learn what it was like on the other side of the camera and what the excitement was with photographing celebrities like himself, so this follows how he turned the cameras onto the paparazzi.
