DM: Perth Dyxum+2 Studio Session

Frank, AA, myself and a couple of canonites (one of whom had bought 4 Bowens monolights) decided to have a bit of a studio session with assorted, um, talent that people happened to know.

I'll post here the few digital shots I took (the films ones are drying at the moment and I'll scan them later) and then hope Frank and AA will post theirs shortly.

I'll post scans of the film shots (HP5 and Acros) when they're done and once the others have had a chance.

C&C is very much sought on these!

Nice work William and aa. It was a fun shoot. I certainly learnt a lot... not least that the A700 onboard flash could trigger the Bowens lights! Anyway, here are some of mine:

1. Our Dyxum cupcake man (William aka Polyglot) and his beloved Mamiya:


2. Here's aa - the ladies' man. Very smooooth operator.

Many thanks to our friend Tom for hosting the shoot. He shoots Canon, so I've asked him if I can post some of his work here for comparison. Stay tuned.

Hi Paul - we started using 4 Bowens Esprits. 2 pointing to the white background and the other two with a softbox right front and a honeycomb front left. To make it even more complicated, we kept moving the lights around through the shoot - this was very much a "let's try and see" fun session. The models were friends and relatives, so they were quite understanding and patient.

No 4 was done with a honeycomb left and white reflecter right. And yes, we had cranked the lights up a bit high in the shots of Clare and this caused problems with her dark hair. We'll definately remember that for next time.

And finally, apologies for any trauma caused by models 1 & 2 on my set.

Lovely photos everyone, I specially like polyglot #11, #15 and #16 tones are great.

In #3 the person is pointing the dome in the wrong direction

#14 lacks contrast on the subject skin due to the way the lights are setup, this makes it look as a single grey tone, it doesn't work for me.
