Roy's and Cherrie's Catalogue Shoot

On April 16, 2005 Roy (link) and Cherrie booked my studio for a catalogue shoot with models Celia, Emanuela, and Reinalyn (sp?). The shoot was for Cherrie's new fashion line of which I can't remember the name. There were a variety of pieces ranging from casual and funky to very formal and extravagant. Some interesting fabrics and textures were used though my amateur eye for fashion told me that some of the black underlayers beneath some of the translucent fabrics may have given some of the pieces an unfinished look. Nevertheless, there were some good shots to be had. Emanuela went to my high school, Old Scona Academic. I believe she is a year or two younger than me. Roy was shooting with the Canon EOS Digital Rebel (300D) w/ the kit lens and with a Sigma 28-300 and also the Olympus Camedia C-5060. Shots on the dSLR were taken in RAW recording mode and I believe the Olympus was recording to JPEGs. Most of the shots were taken on a seamless studio grey 9' wide paper backdrop which Roy had purchased for this shoot. Additional photos were shot on a black muslin backdrop which belongs to my studio.

This news is rather late as I was trying to finish a few overdue assignments for two of my university courses. Also, the black corners in the photo are shadows from the petals of my lens hood . . . I didn't fully lock it in when I took this photo.
