Miss Metal
by Philippe on Jul.09, 2009, under People
When I’ve spotted Damla I knew I wanted her in front of my camera. I always wanted a goth/metal/alternative girl to pose for me.
I’m still not happy though, the next one needs to be covered in tattoos.
Do you know somebody (I prefer without stars in the face) ? Send her to me !

Again some examples of the lovely lasolite hilite background. I kinda like the way you can make the background disappear. I still struggle with the floor (perhaps that’s why you can’t see it here) because it stays slightly grey. I know with a couple of extra lights, it would be solved swiftly but I don’t think my bank will give me more money to buy them.


These girls are added to my portfolio.
Lasolite Hilite test
by Philippe on Apr.26, 2009, under Day To Day
A while ago I purchased a lasolite HiLite background. It’s actually a bit more than just a background. It enables you ‘High Key’ photography on location and in restrictive spaces. By rear lighting the white background itself there is no longer a need to use a background light behind the subject. Furthermore, because the background is actually illuminated it means the subject can stand virtually right in front of it without casting a shadow. The HiLite backgrounds also works as a large rear softbox and illuminates the subject as well, meaning you can use just one other flash head to light the subject from the front. What’s more, the whole thing is collapsible(after struggling more than 2 hours to get that thing in the cover again).
I only used it once but I think I’m gonna use it in the future quite often !
