Dhaka, Bangladesh
Yeasef's interests in cars and motorbikes meant that this session with Ishita and Yeasef had to have some wheels!!.... well, even though Ishita wasn't too attracted to wheels, her attraction for the man behind the wheels was enough for us to go with this theme....
anyway, the basic idea was to take a break from busy life and go out for a short drive in the mild early morning sun to get some nice pictures.... Ishita and Yeasef both work in the corporate world.... so, taking that precious break seemed like came after an eternity, which is the same for most people working in the corporate world...... and we also wanted to bring some nice memories that the couple can chew along in the coming days.... and to make some nice memories, enjoyment was always a priority.... we had lotsa fun while shooting and also while traveling to-and-fro.... yea, we did travel quite a bit without getting any real benefit!!
we wanted to make some pictures that could both walk with the basic theme (a day off from busy life) and a dramatized story.... yea, we tried to make some drama out of our subjects.... short, but somewhat like a storyboard.... we tried to project on stories that actually happened and also tried to project on 'what if' kinda situations.... waiting is something that almost all couples went through at some point or the other.... so, that where we made our start.... at first, we did the 'what if' and then did the actual scenario.... thats right..... it was Yeasef who had to wait most of the times!!
on a technical note, we were shooting against a bright sun.... it was a winter morning alright... but the sun was quite bright as well..... the idea was to make the best use of the shadows cast by the sun and also to use the sun as edge light wherever possible.... but to achieve this, we needed some pretty strong artificial light.... without that, we risked a completely washed out background.... the Elinchrom Ranger RX unit came to the rescue.... it was with the Rotalux 100cm "Deep Octa" softbox.... this allowed us to shoot @f16 and 1/200sec 100 ISO....
for the first shots, used a 20mm lens for wide-angle effect.... and for the shots from the side of the car, used a 28-80mm lens on D700..... for the whole shoot, Elinchrom Skyport was the trigger.....
stay tuned for the second part of the blog post.....
