Firstly, a visiting hockey writer from Sweden has been blogging whilst in this country, and with my blessing he's been using my shots (amongst others) to accompany his articles. The writer is Henrik Persson, and his blog (in Swedish) can be seen here:
Henrik Persson's blog on Hockeysverige.se
The blog features shots of mine, of Tony Hand and of Marcus Kristoffersson, including these:
Needless to say, I'm quite chuffed that Henrik asked to use the shots. Best of luck with your future articles Henrik, and I hope you enjoy your stay in the UK!
For a little while now, I've been mulling over a few ideas for shoots, and this evening I did a test shoot based on one of the ideas that I'm developing. The idea is founded in a concept thought up by my former Phoenix lens buddy Lauren Freeman, but I can't say more than that at this moment!
Suffice to say that this evening I did a test involving a colleague of mine, Liz Knight, and it involved her getting some of her attire off and showing a little more flesh than usual. Liz has been a gracious, willing subject of mine on several occasions in the past when I've wanted to test something out, and for that I am eternally grateful. The shots were done using a 3x300w lighting kit with diffusers and blue gels, and a dimmer. Basically, they were done with a portable lighting set-up, the rationale being that if the shoot I'm planning comes off, that's all I'll have to utilise.
As a short shoot goes, personally I'm pretty pleased with the results. Liz is never comfortable in front of the camera but she always gives it 100%, which makes her a pleasure to work with, and on this occasion she delivered exactly what I was looking for:
Before long I hope to be able to reveal the rationale behind the test shoot, but for the time being I'll content myself with being pretty happy how the test shoot came out!
Cheers all!
Richard
