Week full of product shots

Hello everyone!

The whole week was really amazing and instructive for me. I helped our photographer in the studio and we had a lot of work to do.

First there were about 50 buckles and belts we took great pictures off. They all looked unique on their own. Some had crystals, there were a lot of skulls and other really cool looking buckles.

Then on Tuesday we made product shots of timeless classical fabrics with a contemporary twist from “The Silk Gallery” (http://www.thesilkgallery.com/index.html).

After that my job was to steam the clothes of “Curate 8” (http://curate8.com/) and prepare them on the mannequins so our photographer could easily take pictures of the curated designs and some amazing vintage treasures.

On Wednesday we had a product shoot for “ISWAI”, an online fashion boutique (http://www.iswai.co.uk/).

The style of ISWAI is unique and refreshing and defenitly different from the high street mass! We took pictures of stylish clothing, beautiful jewelery and trendy bags.

But Wednesday wasn’t over yet! I think our photographer and me are a really good team and so there was enough time left for a test product shot with interior lighting.

Finally today there is a big product shot in our studio for “Lipsy” (http://www.lipsy.co.uk/). I am really excited because Lipsy is a young British fashion brand founded in the heart of London.

Tomorrow there is going to be another product shot for “House of Rokoko” (http://houseofrokoko.com/).

Check out the website because there are already product shots from us on it!

As you can see, the week is fully booked out for product shots ans I’m glad that I can learn as much as possible.

Have a nice week,

Vanessa

Right now Mara is helping Paul with these product shots and I am at the office and editing our fashion video which we shot a few weeks ago.

The whole video is going to be in black an white with some old black and white music in it.

Here are some expressions:

 I hope that I can finish the video today,

Hey, I am Vanessa

Hi everyone, my name is Vanessa and I am from Germany. I’m going to do my internship at The Light Studios until December this year. I hope to learn as much as possible in photography and video making.

This week we, the interns, shot our first fashion video. Mara plays a girl who isn’t able to find the perfect dress for their second anniversary.

Charlotte plays her best friend who tries to help her but fails.

I have the responsibility for the camera and the editing.

The shoot was during 2 days and we had a really good make-up artist, Shelly Feldman, a talented actor, Diego Barbosa, who played the boyfriend and Thamizh Thendral who played a Clown in our video.

The filming was trouble-free and incredible funny with all that people together.

We shot at Holland Park, Fulham Palace and Oxford Circus.

Here are some expressions:

This and next week I am going to edit the video and upload it as soon as possible.

All the best to you,

Vanessa

sequins, glitter and shine

Hi everyone,

today we had another product shoot in the studio: We had to photograph beautiful dresses for “mané” with many many sequins and a lot of glitter. I could imagine stars wearing these designs to red carpets event.. For an every day look they had dresses made out of nice flowy fabric, perfect for elegant occasions during summer. 

  

Now we still have a few people in the studio for a fashion shoot but afterwards we can finally go home, it was a long day!

All the best to you,
Mara

everything is possible in a photo studio

Hey everyone!

It’s me again! Yesterday was quite a challenging day. The client who came here to have her products photographed arrived with such a great variety of things! We had to capture frames, bags, shoes, a carpet and even some furniture.

Every product needed a different set-up so we had to arrange a lot and we only had a limited amount of time.. So that was quite hard. But in the end we managed it and it was a good experience, you just have to get creative to make things easier.

 

Another product we shot was this beautiful dress by Eden Row (http://www.edenrow.co.uk/). And I was allowed to wear it for a test shoot which was amazing!

As a result I can say that you have to be really flexible and inventive when working as a photographer or in a photo studio, which is what I learned today. But I suppose these abilities are advantageous in every job.

So stay flexible everyone and have a great day!
All the best,

Mara
