Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh
parts one, two and three are history.... this is part four of four.... but not the last... how come??.... well, this is the first part of the fourth and last part!.... you think I've cheated??... whatever..... its a pain to edit all those images after spending all day at office.... its better to cheat and come with half and post than going blank for the day.... what do you think?
well, enough of explanations..... lets do some formal portraits.... strictly formal portraits; okay?.... naaaaaaa.... would you just do the formal portrait when you have the couple for 10 more minutes?.... certainly not.... there's enough time left here to tell yet another story.... thats right.... another story embedded in that formal portrait.... it may sound weird, but thats exactly what we did..... Arif and Tajia had been so expressive that I hardly had to pinch them; well, not literally though....
again, this session shows the differences in people's behaviour that makes us wonder how two people spend their lives together.... it looks like a miracle... yet, its that miracle that is so common in God's green earth.... a common miracle that is.... we never ask ourselves how this miracle saves our relationships so frequently.... perhaps we know this miracle by another name.... another word.... love....
now the technical stuff.... used a black backdrop to make the setting moody.... the black also went with the deep colour outfit of the subjects.... used two lights from two sides to illuminate the two subjects separately.... on the right was the Elinchrom Ranger + Simpex 120cm x 50cm softbox.... and on the left was a YN-560 + Westcott Apollo 28" softbox.... a third light, a Nikon SB-900 + Lastolite 24" Ezybox Hotshoe softbox.... was used a hair light for separation from the backdrop.... that light was on a monopod, held by my wife.... trigger was Elinchrom Skyport for the Ranger and the Westcott... for the SB-900 it was optical trigger (SU-4) mode.... used the cheapie 28-80mm lens.... its really sharp when stopped down... and I was shooting @f10 for enough DoF... so, no sharpness issues....
hoping to finish the series ASAP....
