for an intro on the session, please visit the first part of this blog....
also, have a look at the second part of the blog here....
the third part of the blog is here....
Pretty and Kamal are one of the most interesting couples we have had the chance to do a photosession with... as usual, we were thinking of building a story around them... a story that they live through everyday... we thought of bringing that story out within a dramatic context... the story would remain the same, but the screenplay would be from a drama series of some sort...
we wanted to bring out some usual happening in day-to-day life... so, we concentrated on one specific kind of conflict... a conflict that not only created distance, but also closed the gap quite quickly... every relationship has conflict... and its the wonderful way of chemistry that always finds a way to glue them together... every conflict ends up with a stronger will to get closer... that common theme of couples is portrayed here by a specific story of these two... and of course, presented in a dramatic way....
in the previous episode, we showed how Pretty comes up with her revenge after Kamal takes pleasure in his own indulgence!!.... this time we dramatise something more common.... they were both very spontaneous with their expressions.... it had to be, as it was the story of their own life.... so, it came almost naturally.... we just put them in a dramatic context to bring some action in it...
we kept the lighting as simple as possible.... we didn't want a wash of light, as we were after some uniqueness of the two characters... there had to be two sides of the characters... so, we kept a play of light and shadow on their faces.... two softboxes on two sides (one Lastolite Ezybox 24" Hotshoe and one Shashinki 24").... they were placed in a way so that the background doesn't get washed and there still remains some contrast in the image... two YN-560 flashes did the job in the two softboxes... 28-80mm lens was on the D700 and the trigger was an Elinchrom Skyport on one of the YN flashes... the other one was on optical trigger....
stay tuned for lots more... :)
