Projector Photography

TIPS

  1. To achieve a black background, place the projector on an angle. Then, take a shot while in front of the model.
  2. Have someone hold the projector so you can position the projection in interesting ways.
The photo on the extreme right uses a snoot to have a rim light (though it doesn't look like a rim light in my photo)

This spread was used in my portfolio/photo album requirement for our final exam. 

Studio flash shoot (Actual model shoot)

I used a 1 studio flash (I think it was 600 watts, it was huge) in lowest power and placed a little far back. Behind the model (not directly behind) a snoot was placed to create a little bit of dimension. The shoot was themed Alice in the Wonderland/Indie-fairy-something, hence, the background and the outfit.

Another favorite shot. Charles is a cosplayer so she was a natural when it came to posing.

Studio flash shoot (Rehearsal)

Using a snoot, an external flash, and some colored gels (though we used colored CD cases) we had a very fun and colorful shoot. I wanted to do this kind of photo shoots because I really love colors in photos. The red creates a really dramatic effect.

To get this shot, I had one of my classmates hold the external flash above the model while holding a colored 'gel' in front of the flash (I believe it was a violet/purple color, which you can see clearly in the photo on the left side. Another person was holding a red colored 'gel' in front of the snoot to get that red color.
