One of the jobs that I worked at had rented one of these once. It produced amazing shots especially with food. If you have 23k Euros you can own one too. Click here.

Hasselblad med multishot modell

Ronnie — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:29:59 +0000

Hasselblad har lansert en Multi-Shot (MS) versjon av sin H3DII-50 mellom-format, digitale SLR-kamera, som fullstendig eliminerer behovet for Bayer interpolering. I multi-shot modus vil Hasselblad H3DII-50ms fange en sekvens av fire opptak, hver oppveid av en en-pixel “increment” (piksel skiftende), slik at hver sensor leverer fullfarge informasjon. Dette fører til høyere oppløsning (særlig av lav kontrast motiver og fine detaljer), bedre fargegjengivelse og en fullstendig fravær av farge moaré. På grunn av beskaffenheten i denne prosessen er multi-skudd måten bare egnet til stillestående motiver som bygninger, stilleben, kunst osv. Dette er grunnen til at Hasselblad H3DII-50ms også beholder H3DII-50’s “single-shot” modellen også. Prisen er i skrivende stund enda ikke klar i det norske markedet, men den markedsføres utenfor Norges grenser for knappe 24000 Euro.

Mademoiselle HK Campaign Photos

Michael Creagh — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:23:10 +0000

I posted the lead shot from the Mademoiselle HK shoot back on the 5th, but I am finally able to post the entire series. I will also post some more shots in the upcoming weeks of the campaign itself. I just got in 2 snapshots of the photos all blown up in the stores. I will try to post them tomorrow.

Martha Hunt from Next Model Management…. which besides being a model I love (you saw her twice before in my Susana Monaco shoots; Black & White and Balloons and Shadows), it was also a really timely choice for the China and Hong Kong market. She was just on the cover of Chinese Vogue at the end of the summer, right before our campaign hit China.

Makeup by Yuko and hair by Wesley from the Wall group. The styling was by Marcell Rocha of Workgroup. We shot it in my Manhattan studio with Hasselblad H3D 39 Megapixels and Profoto lighting. I changed up the lighting a little bit, sometimes playing with more shadow versus sometimes using spotlight in the back.

thanks!

The Beautiful Edyta Zajac

Michael Creagh — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:53:31 +0000

I came across some photos of Edyta Zajac on Supermodels.nl and thought I would add my own shot of her here. This was the second time I photographed her. The first was for an editorial years ago which I will have to track down. This shot surprisingly is from an old Susana Monaco catalog before the re-branding.

Edyta is one hot Polish model. Super sweet. I haven’t spoken to her in quite some time.

The shot was done at my old place in Brooklyn. The wall are covered in painted canvas to look real. I used my Hasselblad H2D-39 megapixel; ISO200 with an 80mm lens on a tripod, F2.8 with a slow 1/15sec. I mixed natural light with maybe a KinoFlo Diva light….At least I think it was. It has been too long and I don’t always mark down my lighting!

Thanks

Michael

Fotomässan 2009

Dan — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:14:46 +0000

Went to Fotomässan in Älvsjö with a buddy o’ mine today. Lots of stuff to see and play around with.

Said hello to people I know at Nikon, met up with my youngest cousin and her friend and a colleague who’s taken a year off to study photography. He’s kick-ass already, but wants to get really good.

I also rummaged through tons of photo books, drooled immensely over the Hasselblad stand and at the H4D 60, enjoyed the photo exhibits a lot and played around with Sigma’s bazook… eh, 400-1000 mm lens. Holy heck! Man, I guess a weapon’s license is needed for it. Just look at it for Pete’s sake! The toes better watch out when this baby slips from your grip…

Contributed to a "How To" Photography Book

Michael Creagh — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:05:54 +0000

I contributed to a “How To” photography book on lighting secrets. It is in book stores now. I picked up a copy at Barnes and Noble in Union Square the other day (I couldn’t wait for the publisher to send me a copy). The book is by Author/Photographer Rick Sammon. He has authored dozens of photography books. Here is a link to his very successful photography blog; http://rickrawrulessammon.blogspot.com/. He wrote this book with another colleague of mine, Vered Koshlano. Vered and I worked together years ago and I was excited to find out that she was partnering up with Rick on this.

Rick contacted me after the Digital PhotoPro article, and asked if I wanted to do a small chapter. I am pretty excited as I haven’t worked on any how to books in past. The chapter is on the beauty of black and white. It takes 5 of my most known photos and I give an important point or two on how to achieve it. The book is not all fashion, but a wide variety of portrait, beauty and glamour techniques on location and in the studio. I started reading my copy and might be taking a look at some of the other techniques I am not using.

Here is the link to buy the book on Amazon.com. There is a nice discount on the site.

Thanks!
