Guess what! I am in Montreal these days, and I will be there for the next 10 days or so.

So if you are around and want to shoot with me, or just say “hi” feel free to give me a holler.

In the meantime, here is a photo of Tita who came back to the studio last week for a quick EKTA session (after shooting this video with me the week before).

She was in and out in less than 35 minutes, because, she’s super busy, I’m super busy, but mostly, because she can nail any photo session insanely fast thanks to her crazy modeling skills.

As always, if you want to be part of this series, you know what to do…

I am working on a bunch of different projects right now, and I will let you know more about them as soon as my clients give me the go.

But one thing I can show you and that I will keep shooting no matter what, is my EKTA Series.

Yesterday, Kelly dropped by the studio for a quick photo shoot.

You’ve already seen her video a few weeks ago here, but she came back for photos this time.

The EKTA Series is getting really big and is quickly getting as important as my previous Nude Fine-Art Series.

As I mentioned, I am very very busy, but if you want to book a session with me, there might still be available spots in November. (Just sayin’….)

In any case, if you want to be part of this series, you know what to do…

Today I decided to use the technique I used for EKTA and apply it to a portrait.

I think the result is kinda neat and I wanted to share it with you all.

What do you think?

See the EKTA Series here.

For the last few months, I have taken a break from the EKTA Series as I have had a lot of projects to work on and it was hard to focus on my personal series.

But rest assured that I haven’t given it up and it will be back shortly.

By the way, I am still looking for models to collaborate, so if you’re interested, give me a shout.

In the mean time, here is Nina for you:

How do you create a nice portrait in bad lighting conditions?

It’s 3pm in January, almost no light outside, someone asks you to shoot a portrait, and you don’t have your light kit.

Question: What the hell are you supposed to do?

Answer: You grab whatever light source you can find, in this case an old Ikea lamp (very orange light source that is gonna conflict with the exterior light, very blue).

Then you grab the coolest table you can find, put it next to a window and a white wall and you’re almost there.

Then, place the main light source (old Ikea lamp) exactly in front of the model so the big shadow goes behind the model and not on the side.

Once you’re done (and that’s where you’ll look like a moron), you have to place your camera so you are basically at the same place as the lamp. Chances are you’re gonna have your face against the lamp.

This way, camera, lamp and model are aligned and the shadow is hidden behind your subject.

Once that’s done, you shoot and you end up having either a well lit subject with a blue wall (remember the window on your left with blue exterior light coming in…?) or a well lit wall with an orange model. (Thanks Ikea !!!)

Ah…

Had you had your light kit, you would have put gel on the window (or on the lamp) and fixed the problem right there, but you didn’t.

So the last trick is to fix your photo in post. Meaning you decide to go with the photo that has the blue wall, and since your model (who has gray eyes by the way) is not wearing any blue, you simply desaturate the blue all the way on photoshop.

Boom! White wall with correctly lit model!

Time spent, 5 minutes during the shoot and about 5 minutes in post.
