Description .....



Round two of the Late Isabel series. This was taken for press releases for Greenbelt plaza. so the shoot was a mix of very fine to normal jewelry, prom clothes to beachwear. the whole mix gave me a massive headache after, but i'm happy with the overall shoot. The goth band, The Late Isabel, modeled for us.

At the end of the shoot, friends and family of the manager modeled as well. Gino's an awesome model.

Model: Gino Feraren

amazing shot! i love how the colors and the shadows mixe together, it kinda makes it harder to distinguish if this really is a photo, or a digital rendition of this image. great work!

Fantastic shot ! I really love the ambience. May I ask what lighting you used, and what post-processing you did ?

This photo is amazing, the colours and the crop really make this something remarkable.
It also makes me think of Bryan Fisher as Henry 'J' Jekyll from Jekyll + Hyde (2006)

does it? cool, thanks!
this shoot was actually for a line of suits and dresses. the model brought along a plastic gun. his mom was in the studio when it happened and they were fighting over having a picture taken with him and the gun.

the son won in the end, haha. and everyone liked it. funny .. not as dramatic anymore now that you know it's plastic eh? probably shot bubbles, manic mode...

lol, nah still no less dramatic.. the photo makes it real in my mind
If that's a plastic gun I want it ..I have yet to find a realistic looking gun for photos... and a nice place to take photos too lol... and I gotta make up some fake blood
I REALLY badly want to get into macabre & horror and alternative fashion photography.. but my parents would freak if I did it here... I'll probably rally together a bunch of people when school starts back up

well if you do want to go into macabre and horror, do it with style. learn from what you see on DA and try NOT to do what the rest are doing because honestly, it gets quite boring. girls in long dresses and blood.. guys clenching their teeth with a knife. blah. even a bright picture can be horrific, think about it. maybe the angle of giving photos a lot of thought and classy execusion will not scare your parents.

This is a really cool shot. It definitely shows not to mess with him. Not showing the model's face also adds to the mystery of the photo.

This shot is textured looks like a playstation image i couldnt figure out if it was real or not.
I would have taken some of the (RGB) green out a littlle.

What i like the most is the fact that the model had the shot in mind before you took it he had an exact idea of what he wanted. I think the shot really benefits from that. Great composition good cropping too.

Well done.

b-e-c-k-y In reply to Ganiyu [2005-11-24 10:50:58 +0000 UTC]

wow thank you so much! hehe don't worry it's all real, just soft lighting. i'm really glad i got inputs from my model too, that almost never happens. i like it when the photographer and model are on the same page in ideas and all that.

sad reality is many times, models are so clueless and want an exact pose direction for almost every shot . haha.

haha thanks so much! yeah the model's pretty good lookin i must admit.
he insisted that he bring a gun to the shoot, he wanted to pose with it somehow (don't worry, it's plastic). his mom was there too and was totally against the idea of me shooting that. haha. oh well, she liked the shot too

I love the power in this picture; it screams both action and a calm ruthlessness that must have been very hard to capture. The fact that the eyes aren't present in the picture definately adds to the overall feel of the photograph, and gives it a nice, harsh touch. Probably the best photograph I've seen on dA; ever.

becky,

i like the ligthing. what did you do to achive this tone? what sort of white balance you usually use?
this is kinda 2 o clock ligthing. very well done. but nobody noticed the purpose of this shoot..what was the subject?
the eye goes to the gun and the photographer's style.
for the photographer 2 thumbs up!

b-e-c-k-y In reply to jerishoots [2005-03-09 02:54:00 +0000 UTC]

i used studio lights. pitch black room with just one source of light, and a reflector on the other side...
the purpose of the entire shoot was to advertise the clothes and the jewelry. but for this one particular layout the focus was on the gun, it was supposed to be an intense shot.

post: the colors of the skin were desaturated almost 100% and i raised up the blue shadows. the color of his jacket is the real-life color.

glad you like it
