Behind the scenes Shop Talk model portfolio shoot video
I’ve been talking with a local model in regards to a shoot to update her portfolio. We had finally decided it was time to get it done, especially since the weather has warmed up a whole lot!
I turned it into a “Shop Talk” experience by bringing along a couple of other shooters who wanted some insight into professional lighting. So we were joined by Jens (pronounced “Yentz”) and Darryl (all the way from Ottawa!).
We created a stop-motion video of the shoot that shows some of the differences in lighting techniques, and some of the problems we addressed. It might be a little nerdy for non-photographers, but it’s still an interesting view into one of our shoots!
So take a look, and maybe you’ll gain insight into why I do the things I do on your wedding day.

Hey Tony!
Yeah the family is great! Simon has really started to show a routine within the last couple of weeks, so it’s getting easier! Only problem is, he’s started teething, and that makes him rather uncomfortable!

Such a great video and very informative. What is the first song by the way?
April 14th, 2010 at 10:53
Hey Praveen!
The first song is “Ard Na Mara” by the group named “Los Morenos”, a local Alberta band. I love their music!

Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I have the exact same lens that you used, I guess I need to get out there and get to work.
