Monster Lisa Part I …..

By Scott Lewis on November 11, 2013

A while back Lisa G was in the studio again, unfortunately with the wedding season coming to an end I didn’t get to finish the photos in time for Halloween like I originally planed. Also I took way to many photos as her friends joined in the fun so I have cut this blog in 1/2. Nominally when some one leaves the studio the photos are already 80% finished and I simply have to develop the raw data, but as my Monday project I need more ideas and do a lot more post production so they every shoot doesn’t look the same.

Alice Alabaster

By Scott Lewis on October 21, 2013

This shoot posed a whole new range of problems….. Miss Alabaster saw a photo of me taken with a smart-phone that had one of those retro style camera apps, e.g “Hipstermatic”, “Retro-camera” etc. And wanted to do a shoot where her styling fitted to an 80’s look and the final images looked like they were faded old photos.

Wireless Flash Remote Trigger for Sony NEX

By Scott Lewis on October 18, 2013

I have seen a few different types of hot shoe adapters and flash triggers for the NEX range of cameras over the last few years. And I have been very happy with the simple JJC MSA-10 (ISO hot shoe adapter for nex) that I have been using, but last week i sew a dedicated trigger and receiver for only 14€ and thought I would give it a try.

My set was branded with the name WanSen but they may be distributed under several different names

Migaro and Sylvain

By Scott Lewis on October 14, 2013

This weeks Monday night shoot was again something totally different to the last few weeks. This week 2 models from Manigoo Models in Mannheim were out and about with me and Philip. Originally we were going to head up to Turmburg for a few sunset photos but light and weather conditions just weren’t in our favour. So we headed into a small underpass near the studio and had some fun with a strobist style shoot.

Light Blaster Part 2 … Tips and tricks.

By Scott Lewis on October 4, 2013

Here are a few things I have noticed about using the Light Blaster over the last week of playing around with it. If you have any other recommendation/ideas please let me know.

Light Blaster Creative Kit (printed transparencies)- Effects

Light Blaster turns your system flash into a portable slide projector allowing you to project slide images onto or behind your subject. In consideration of the vast amount of existing slides, the potential of Light Blaster is infinite.

Tanja (Light Blaster part 1 intro and basics)

By Scott Lewis on October 2, 2013

The Light blaster is a portable adapter that allows you project 35mm slides using your system flash. A few years ago I remember seeing something similar and thought it was a fun idea (more about that latter). Recently I saw it in the catalogue from Enjoy Your Camera and had to try it out.

This was my first real shoot with the light blaster, I have tested it a bit over the last week but wait to blog any thing until I had really put it through good test.

By Scott Lewis on September 18, 2013

The holidays are over and its time to get back to shooting. This week I was in the studio with new comer model Hailie and

Horror Movie….

By Scott Lewis on August 14, 2013

Well this was one of those shoots that I will never forget. I had wanted to do a 1950’s B / Horror shoot for a while now, but Murphy’s law kicked in and the chaos ensued….
