洛陽春x彭琁


In the workshop, I demonstrated the way to combining the continued lighting and flash lighting . Here are some samples. the ring LED light (南冠CN-R640) as the key light, and two GODOX V-860c as the ring light for the edges. 




Thanks to Irene Peng for the modelling, very touching pose and look. 

The Fashion brand - 洛陽春 brings the flash and pure sensation in those images.

All taking by my trusted Canon EOS-1DsMKII+Canon EF 85mm f1.2L.

I have worked with Godox AD180 for couple years in many different projects, the design is great with so many accessories, such as the foldable beauty dish with grid, super-long life battery, and easy to use  trigger and receiver.

The beautiful dish is super-light and bring the stunning works.

The grid helps a lot to control the directions of light:)

簡單的裝上小小receiver 就可作離機閃喔




Here are some sample of photoshoot:

同樣的構圖，利用AD-180來突出重點分出畫面焦點的主次，形成良好的畫面結構

My Portfolio on PhotoVogue

It's been my privilege to share the experiences and works to my friends and other photographers in my Taipei workshop. Also Thanks to the stunning model - Shu Yi and fabulous inTW Dance company for the great demonstrations.

Here are few samples from the workshop:

 The Paramount Lighting brings the clear symmetrical looks for beautiful faces.

Simply by controlling the spread of the bounce flash,  the light can be modified as the effects from the soft box. 

The Rembrandt Lighting shows the dynamic energy of the picture, the beauty in the dramatic atmosphere. 

 Sometimes the simple one light set-up can reveal the rich sensations. 

Multiple lights bring multiple joys:)

 My beloved three-lights set-up for creating the vision of my own!!

 The combination of different qualities of light/color forms strong perceptions of depth in this portrait. 

 The ambient light on the site. 

There lights set-up for the Dancers' Portrait:

Very attractive traditional interface of classic camera models, and light-weight combination with high-quality opticals are the reasons for me to keep X-system by my side in work or pleasure time.

Here is the keynote of my off camera flash photography workshop in Tainan on 30th Aug 2015.

It's delight to present the off-camera flash tech and thoughts for portrait photography in this workshop. Also I have a chance to visit my beloved hometown - Taiwan.

Our new LDN Model has a beautiful new, and her elegant poses reflect the equally beautiful looks, shall have a bright feature in the modeling. Here are few quick sharing:

Alice is a talented professional model and it's pleasure to work with her again.  

The grass turned into yellow in this season, but it's perfectly fitting the outfit and the hair. Shooting under cloudy natural light.  

 On the day the forecast shows light shower and it actually happened...in the middle of shoot. 

Although it was raining but Alice and I still got great images. 

The evening dress beauty becomes a gothic fashion with Octabox lighting.

Simple preview of the contact sheet here:)

Here are few images using on the LDN Instagram from last week's shooting:

It's so delight to see many lovely new face in last week, quite busy in the all day shooting but hopefully to contribute nice images of their portfolio.

Here are few quick preview images of lovely Monica's test shoot in LDM Models.

It's fantastic to work with beautiful new model - Alice Neale, the poses and attitudes are great within her performance. Few quick pre-view images are here:

Delightful to work with and hope all best luck to her model career:)

Amy is a beautiful dancer and strong potential model, it's been pleasure to work with her and produce nice portfolio. The bright future is there to foresee. 

Here are few screenshots of images from camera selecting for LDN Instagram 

A quick preview of the two days shoot...

It's the first time I use Fujifilm X-system for main camera in an all day shoot, and I have to say that it's so much easier and enjoyable. It might be the time to say good bye to my full-frame Canon EOS-1DsMK2...  

 Using single camera system can let me focus to the elements of images and set the lights in variety styles. 

 The Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 provide proper defocused background which is not as great as Canon EF 85mm f1.2L but OK.

Certainly it's al about the form/color/tones to make the images right.

Also the interact with subject/model is a major factor in the portfolio shoot:)

LDN models can create a stand out portfolio for you with superior photography, model coaching and impressive hair, makeup and fashion styling. www.ldnmodels.com #ldnmodels#modelling#londonmodelling#londonmodels#becomeamodel

I love one light set-up for the portrait, but I prefer the three light set-up more. The simplicity is beautiful, elegance, as we can see from many classic Fashion Photography which strictly utilizes the one light method. For me I would like to bring a little depth and color into my picture, a little personal taste of my fine art background instead of the logical clarity of light. More lights mean more distractions beside the area of focus, thus it takes the experiences and the foreseeing of the composition of atheistic sensation. But I love to try all the combination, even there are many chances to fail :)


     

 LDN Model: Raquel Pulle

One Light Set-Up

 Very clean and easy to read the subject, shows the logic of the lighting direction.

The shadows are emerged thus it's fuzzy to identify the subject and the space(background).. 

 LDN Model: Raquel Pulle 

Three Light Set-Up

Add a outline kick light and background back lit, the space has been noted around the subject.

The kick lit indicates the thickness of the subject, also reveal the texture (with a harder lighting)

 Another One-Light Set-Up sample

Three-Lights Set-UP sample

Basing the same concept of delivering the shape and depth go the subject in the image.

The difficulty is to determinate the volume of the second/third light! When we check the playback on the camera on the site, it seems very subtle but become distractions on the large monitor. Nevertheless it's preferable for me to dedicate the lighting onto my fashion photography style.   

 Fujifilm X-T1/ XF56mm f1.2R, natural light

Here are the two different looks with different lighting plans shooing with beautiful model - Hannah Poplaws. The natural looks applied a back-lit natural light setting to present the smooth texture of skin and soft clean transaction.

Fujifilm X-T1/ XF56mm f1.2R, three strobes.

The light setting up here provides a high-contrast aggressive visual impact of color mixture. By suing the red-gel and yellow gel on the back light and side light, the light of colors takes over the shadow on the body, stress the abstract form of gesture. With the confident and elegant movements, Hannah perform the perfect gracious beauty in this polish dress. 

Cady Roberts, LDN Model

Fujifilm X-T1 + XF 56mm f1.2R

A stunning model - Cady Roberts in Boho looks with a little spring taste of environment for this location shoot. The reflection of the afternoon sun light  just perfectly illumines the face from shadow. The Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 @ f1.2 provided a proper DOF in this scene.
