2006.12.08: Bridal Fantasy Cover Reattempt: Rachel

After the shoot failure at Red Strap Market/my studio, the team planned a shoot which would hopefully get a shot that would be a better cover shot than what may have been used. The client's mandate was for a dark haired, light-eyed model. Yura Sklyar stepped up and with under 24 hours notice found us Rachel. Here are some photos from her first shoot ever. Photos shot at Jonathan's St. Albert studio. Lighting by Lighttools and Lightrein with a few other pieces of equipment in the mix as noted below.

Hair by Jennifer Chivers of Elysium Hair Body Spirit. Makeup by Paula. What's not immediately obvious is that there is a gigantic gobo on the main soft box in the foreground in the form of a surreal scene of sky and sunflowers printed on a polyester mesh with the Epson 9800 at my studio. This gobo allowed us to cast a catch light in the model's eyes that�looked a lot more natural. The cooler�colour balance of the photo used in the gobo�was also chosen to help separate the model's light from the neutral light cast onto the warmer-toned studio surroundings and backdrop.

Away with the backdrop! A Bowens QuadX power pack was used to pump 3000J of energy through to a single flash head to texture the light on the background: the wood paneling in Jonathan's studio.

Photo by Jonathan. Edited by me. This photo is one of my personal favourites that Jonathan shot. I think he has a knack for tightly-cropped shots. Nice work, bud. =)

Hi, Mandy.

That's just creepy . . .

Gene Simmons IS your father!

A fun shot in between all of the hard work that modeling is.
