[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This was a shoot for our long-term client of ours Endochoice, a fast growing medical supplier company. Usually I would be shooting all kinds of medical supplies for them with all of the shots being done on a pure white background (read more here). This time was different, they asked...
We had such an awesome time in the studio, splashing and shooting - short report is below:-) It was such fun! Below is one of the shots we got during tonight's live shoot. This is an as-is (WB does not count:-), unedited image: The beauty shot...
Do you remember a question I asked the Universe a few weeks ago? Well, Here's the answer: (more…)
My fellow pixiq.com expert, photographer and writer Haje Jan Kamps has this very cool project in development I want to tell you about. He is working on a universal remote triggering device which will work with any DSLR and it will carry laser, sound and time triggers all built-in. Plus...
This is one of the final images delivered to the client: If you've been reading my blog, you probably recognized Anisa International product, since we've worked on many shots for them. Cosmetic brushes one of my favorite (after the liquid :-)) subjects, as they are very nice looking and yet...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As promised, I run few in-studio tests to see if there is any noticeable difference in IQ between 35mm DLSR Canon 5D mark II and Phase One p25+ medium format digital back. This comparison makes more sense than the previous one between Canon 1Ds Mk III and Hasselblad H4D-50 I...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Now, when I've got everything assembled and working, I am excited to show my new studio camera, Cambo Ultima D: My previous setup (cambo master PC + 1Ds Mk III) was very cool view camera learning tool...
Leica X1 vs Fuji X100: in studio test This is a second part (read first part here) of my review of Leica X1 and Fujifilm X100 P&S cameras. I still call them this way, as having a viewfinder does not change a nature of the camera, IMO :-) Now we’ll...
This Saturday we had our first in-studio masterclass! It was great fun and quite the experience for me: Update: e-videobook is now available for ordering: Download it here! Details below: We had a five-hour shoot and it was some of...
Fuji X100 vs Leica X1 I’ve always been looking for something small like a point and shoot, but powerful and fast like DSLR to carry around with me. The first time I saw the Fuji...
Found this great behind the scene video. This is what I call creative work! (For my American readers: there are some nudity in the clip, I warned you:-)) Photographer Alexander Morderer form Ukraine, same as me. His studio located in Kiev, not far from the house I use to live:-)...
Got a video from the Leaf Aptus II 12 test shot: Full article: Leaf Aptus-II 12 80 megapixel digital back review: it is not only pixels that count. Enjoy:-) P.S My best-I-ever-had camera, canon 1Ds mark III is on sale now. Price is $4000 so far... It might be a...
Last week I have a chance to play with top of the Leaf's line of digital backs, Leaf Aptus-II 12, 80-megapixel digital back mounted on Phase One 645DF camera. Many thanks to Steve Hendrix from Capture Integration for bringing all this beauty to the studio. I've got a video as...
A Better Camera? Please tell what is this... I know this questions was raised millions times on many discussion boards, but because I couldn't find a good image quality comparison results, I've decided to run few tests myself. Now, when I've got Canon 5D MkII as a secondary camera and...
What is the most important behind any decent studio shot? The idea, right? Without idea (concept) there is no way we can create anything really good and remarkable , regardless of how good the technique was. Obviously, bad realization can kill any idea. This is why I like to create the image...
Recently found an interesting behind the scene video of Manfrotto 2010 AD campaign shot by Roberto Bigano. I am a big fun of Manfrotto products and it was interesting to see how photographer was working on their AD campaign. He used continues lighting and only diffuser panels to make the...
A while ago we had a very extensive jewelry photoshoot for new hi-end jeweler in Atlanta, Elizabeth Dupree Lynch. Descendant of one of the oldest and best known families in America, she recently launched jewelry business. Her Fine Jewelry collection, hand crafted by Italian master jewelers, represents love, specifically - "all...
You know, I really like Paul C Buff stuff, I was using his monolights from a beginning of my studio photography. Last summer I've got my first pair of Einstein 640 strobes and was very pleased with the performance and most of all, with a stopping power of these digital...
One day ago I've got an email from one fellow photographer (thank you, Paul!) about a portfolio of Dubai Wedding photographer, Sohail Nazish. (you can find him on almost any social media) There are URLs which were sent to me: http://www.pho2grapher.com/flash/product%20photographers/index.html http://www.pho2grapher.com/dubai-product-photographer.html I expect these URLs to be dead soon,...
I have this DIY powerpack I've built about 10 month ago. Most of the time it was stored on a shell, as I rarely shoot on location, and so far have never work on location without power outlet within 30 feet:-) (one more shot with the pack is here). However,...
