Giorgio Photo

I was hired by Semon Cashmere for getting pictures at a Fashion Show in a London club where they were showing their new collection.

The catwalk was running in the middle of the busy club dance floor and was quite challenging to get pictures in that conditions, with many people around the models and low lighting, but I have quite a lot of photographic  experience on very low light and busy environment so I managed to get all the shoots I wanted to, I relay on my camera autofocus even in poor light condition, so I was setting it to track the subject movement and it did quite a good job, than I was setting the camera in manual exposure mode and the flash set to TTL, often dialled +1 stop or -1 stop depending on the model outfit.

I’m quite happy with the final result and in this gallery you can find few of the pictures taken during the catwalk .

Few weeks ago I had a photo shoot with Misha, a young and experienced Canadian model living in London.It was easy to work with her as she have more than five years of modelling and attending fashion and television show.She instructed the Make up artist on her final look and asked me to take some “simple” portrait trying to make the make-up show as much as possible. To do this I was using a quite safe lighting scheme, two soft boxes at the front, one key on the left and one fill at the right, an other flash used as back light and another one for the background with the use of a gel for the first part of the session to make it light blue.

She enjoyed the result and I enjoyed to work with her, she is very capable to stand in front of the camera and to take some directions during the session.

In this gallery there are few pictures taken that day.

During Anna’s Photo session we took the last 30 min to shoot some easy glamour photos. For the above picture I just used only one flash placed on the top left corner of the room, behind the model, almost at ground level;  for the last two pictures of the gallery I just used natural light coming from a big window on the right of the model.

While for the pictures above the intent was to create a kind of artistic glamour, for the last two images I chose to leave everything as it was, very natural and easy.

I just applied a bit of post processing to the pictures, just added contrast and some sharpening.

In this gallery there are few of the glamor pictures taken that day.

During Anna’s Photo Shoot we also took some artistic nude pictures, well, there isn’t really any explicit nudity  in this photos gallery as we decided to don’t make the images too much “aggressive”. Had to bee something simple, using the sun as main light and a flash on the white wall background and adding a bit of high key look to some pictures.

At this page there are few pictures taken during that session.
