Cut to the chase: http://goo.gl/mbTQU ... scroll down 7 shots to where the B&W's start.
On the weekend I attended a workshop on directing and posing models in the studio. A very cozy affair, our teacher Neeto da Silva held it in her home studio that she sets up in a lovely low-rise apartment around the corner from the old and iconic Maple Leaf Gardens in downtown Toronto. I met Neeto at the very first studio collaborative TF shoot I attended. Another photog and I were hugely impressed by her easy command of the set and the models, and discussed it with her. In some follow up email she agreed to tailer a workshop for the other photog and myself, and arranged to have two models and a makeup artist on hand. The shots in this GESO are mostly behind-the-scenes candids, but also three shots from a "flying hair" sequence. Both of the models had gorgeous, long hair and we were directed to use that and have fun with it. It took me a while to really let loose and get creative, but I did and I'm still feeling the high from this workshop, 3 days later. For equipment junkies: K20D, DA* 50-135/2.8, ISO 100. f/8 give or take. 2 x Elinchrom BX500 NI monolights with Profoto softboxes (24" I think). The candids are ISO 1600, various wide apertures (see the individual shots), natural room light from floor to ceiling windows.
