Boxing Creative Shoot

These are some pictures from the last shoot I shot in Vancouver, never got round to posting them up with the mayhem of moving back to England. Had a great time doing these, and working with a very talented team. Jen and Cam had not modeled before and were fantastic! Grace is a very talented make up artist who works in the film industry in Vancouver, I was very lucky to get her on board. Evren who assisted me and gave creative and technical advice has recently graduated from VanArts, and received an honorable mention in the 2010 Px3 awards, a name to be watching.

Makeup: Grace Schoorl
Models: Jennifer Yager and Cameron Johnson of Action Boxing Club
Assistant: Evren D'souza











This shot was fairly complex. All (other than some minor retouching) was done in camera, one shot. Camera was on a tripod, six second exposure. Hitting the shutter fired a strobe beauty dish above Jen for the main light, and and gridded strobe behind her to the left for the rim light. We had a large softbox on a strobe for a hot light, Jen ducked and weaved to get the motion blur, with Evren firing a speedlite to the left of camera at one point to get the sharper form on the left. This took a fair bit of time, patience and experimentation from everyone!
