UjENA Top 6 photographer Brian Williams

All the great photographers I have met have all been very open and cooperation, and so is the UjENA talent photographer Brian Williams. The glamour photographer Brian Williams is located in Califorina USA. I had the honor to spend one hole week with him in Sitges Spain at the UjENA Bikini Jam. We get along at very first moment as we met. The team was set with Brian, Johan and me. Brian was excellent with booking models and he really filled our calendar for the week. It was easier to work with controlled hard light when we could help each other with the lightning. Our concept worked out really good. It became that we all three succeeded to place our self as top six photographers in the weeks UjENA talent competition in Sitges 2008.

Brian Williams and he staff models are going to visit us next summer in Stockholm. Contact Brian if you are interested in working with Brian next summer. Go and check out his website, Brian Williams Photography for more information or his MySpace. We had a wonderful time together in Spain, and I’m looking forward to met him again next summer.

First two pictures are some pictures I took of Brian. Next following three pictures are taken by photographer Brian Williams himself.

Mexcian based UjENA model Iseal Palacios is last out of all the models I worked with during my visit in Sitges at the UjENA Bikini Jam 2008. Isela was the very first model I worked with during my 9 days stay in Spain. Isela is 30 years old woman from Mexico, and if you watch TV from Mexico you might already have seen her before.

I would like to give a very special thanks to my Swedish room mate Johan Rosén. Johan is a great person, and he took really good care of me when I have twisted my knee. Thanks a lot Johan, it was fun to work with you. I really hope that we will hung out more.

Fotografera med en blixt

Något som jag tycker är väldigt givande är att testa nya lösningar med enkla fotohjälpmedel som man kan hitta hemma i sitt kök eller kanske bland sina egna sopor. Som vid det här tillfället där jag har använt en tom vit gammal glassbox. Glassboxen fungerade som en softbox i ljussättningen av en ölburk. På motsatta sidan om plastlådan och där en Canon Speedlite 580EX stod uppställd har jag en vit pappskiva för att belysa skuggsidan. Mitt mål med bilden var att efterlikna den produktbild som finns på Kopparbergs hemsida. Mer komplicerat behöver det inte vara….

S-former skapar dynamik i porträttbilder

Det sägs att fotografera mitt på dagen är den sämsta tiden eftersom ljuset är hårt. Hårt ljus skapar skarp övergång i skuggorna. Bilden i det här inlägget är taget mitt på dagen, men det vi gjorde när vi tog bilden var att vi kontrollerade ljuset med hjälp av en diffuser och ett par reflexskärmar.

Kontrollerat ljus skapar ger bättre kvalité på bilderna likaså även bilder med dynamik. En S-formad kurva på modellen ger bättre dynamik och gör det lättare för betraktaren att beskåda bilden. Det blir både intressantare och roligare att titta på en person i bild som har former. Dynamiken i bilderna får du lättare med vana modeller, men om du arbetar med ovana modeller måste du ge dom direktiv för att uppnå det resultat du önskar. I kursen Ta kontroll över ditt porträttfoto berättar jag om hur jag arbetar och kommunicerar med mina modeller. På kursen får du även vägledning, tips och råd samt feedback som tar dig vidare i din porträttfotografering. Vi kör igång med en ny omgång 4 juni.

Studio photography on location

Yesterday I visited gold- and silversmith Claes Nyström in his home to make some photographs of his creations. I thought it would be a couple hours of work but it turned out to be 10 hours continious work. Not because of problem with taking pictures, it was rather it was so many products Claes wanted me to take pictures of. As he states on his website “There is also a high quality selection of jewellery, ornaments and utility objects for sale“. The products were very nice, and also the models I had the pleasure to work with. We all had a great time, and actually I enjoyed to spend the time with Nyströms family.

I brought my gear with me, and I setup a studio in Nyströms livingroom. Here below is one of the photos we took, straight out from the camera with no post-work. I used two Canon Speedlite 580EX II as a mainlight, and two Speedlite as a rimlights. Claes assisted me with reflectors.

Mixa blixtljus med befintligt ljus

Jag börjar oftast med bakgrunden när jag fotograferar. Bakgrunden ska hjälpa till att framhäva huvudobjektet i förgrunden och om bakgrunden är exempelvis för mörk kan det vara idé att ljussätta bakgrunden med ljus. Att använda blixtar utomhus fungerar utmärkt bara om man har någon slags kommunikation mellan kameran och blixten. Bakom vardera pelare i bilden här nedan fanns det en Canon Speedlite 580EX II monterade på ett Manfrotto stativ riktade mot stenväggen i bakgrunden. Blixtarna utlöste jag med radiokontakt via Pocket Wizard. Skulle jag ha utlöst blixtarna med hjälp av infraröda signaler så hade det troligvis inte fungerat då pelarna hade säkert blockerat signalerna.

För att skapa lite mer dramatik och färg så hade jag monterat ett färgfilter över blixthuvudet. Sedan gäller det att få rätt balans på ljuset i förgrunden och bakgrunden så att inte den gula färgen i bakgrunden försvinner. Det tog inte många minuter att rigga upp den här scenen. En enkel smidig lösning som passar utmärkt för location fotografering. På workshopen går vi igenom allt i detalj.

Hostess of Telemundo Leti Coo

At the UjENA bikini Jam in Spain I had the opportunity to photograph the hostess of Telemundo Leti Coo. Telemundo is a division of NBC Universal. Our shooting was recorded on film by a nice photographer Carlos Garcia, and what I’ve been told the our photo session will be on TV today on Sunday 18th of May. The TV-team joined us also for a days shooting in Barcelona, so it would be fun to see if Telemundo team will include that photo session too. Here below is some shots I took of Leti Coo.
