Event Photography

On January 10th,
I photographed the Fashion event WHAT THE F**K ARE THEY DOING. 
A friend of mine was opening this event, so I went there for shooting event. 


The event was about Fashion, Art, Photography and music. Artists and models were all from Vancouver, and they are almost same age with me. For example, the most important person in this event Lillea Goian(known as lillzkillz), she is still 20 years old, a fashion designer and the founder of profanity. The other artists were also around 22 or less. 


I really enjoyed the event, but I found the challenges in the event as well. Actually this was the first time to shoot night event, and using flush. I tried several times of flush shooting before I went there, but it was difficult to get right power of flush light, so I needed to find right exposures at the event.  


For finding right exposures, what I did was tried different flush power first, I remembered I was shooting these pictures with 1/64 flush power. And I tried different exposures like F8, Shutter speed 125,  and set ISO a little bit higher than usual which was ISO 500. 




For me it's always good to try different things and learn other fields. I found out my weakness of storytelling approach, so I will work on that. If I shoot event again in the future, I will go to the place earlier to figure out the place where you want to photograph from, and have tripod, wide-long focal length lens. More importantly, to communicate with people in the event.

How to shoot Studio Portraits

If I need to give some tips for other photographers or people who have no idea about how I shoot studio portraits, this is the way that I do. 1. Planning 1st tip in studio portraits is planning. I think a lot of beginners don't pay attention to this, or maybe some photographers don't need it. But Planning your shoot is critical. What do you want to shoot? What kind of look/style do you want? What kind of pictures do your clients want? How do you want to hit the light? If your client is ready for the shoot, and you suddenly start thinking how you want to hit the light or how you want them to pose, it's too late. In hat case, your client can tell you're not sure what you are doing, and I can tell that shoot will never goes well, and client will not call you again. So 1st thing that I always always do is communicate with the person you shoot before the actual shooting day. How? and What do I talk? Here is the thing that I do before the shoot. 1. send ...

Dealing with surprises and unexpected challenges as a photographer

Hello,  On 13th February, 2018, I had a shoot with Shelby . She is a beautiful person who is studying fine art and dreaming to go to UK and work in fashion industry.  1/160sec, F11, ISO200 I remember I met her in front of Roots, downtown, Vancouver about 2 month ago when she was waiting her friends, and I approached to her and asked if you are interested to have shoot in the future, just send me message and let's do it. By the way, I like to find models on the street in stead of rely on model agencies or groups.  The reason I like to find models by myself is, first it is good to know what type of people/ styles I want to photograph. And I believe choosing a right person from tons of tons of unlimited people is developing & educating my eyes.  I think this process is important especially when you are beginner. lighting diagram of 1st Shelby picture. As I explained in last blog, I like to make plans for the shoot, and analyzing lig...
