THE VERY ANTITHESIS !!!
I recently did some work with a very cool east-London clothing brand, Antithesis, run jointly by Zahra Ash-Harper and Renée Lacroix. They’re big on their multi-functional and modular pieces and I had the pleasure of shooting the look-book for their second collection (entitled Globe-strutter), working with the awesome Kirsty-Anne Tritton, pictured above (you can check her out on her blog 5Feet10). The shoot also involved a tiny bit of ‘ghost mannequin’ photoshopping work, as per the screenshot from their e-store, below. Look out for these guys in the future – big things ahoy!
All shot on a Canon EOS 5D mk3, 24-105mm lens at 70mm, at various F numbers, ISO 160, at various shutter speeds.
SO MUCH WHITE SPACE …
OK. Tested out my heavy-duty Lastolite black studio backdrop in the previous post, SHOOTING (FUTURE) STARS. Unsurprisingly, here’s a test of the reverse side, the WHITE backdrop. To do this, I needed someone to stand in front of it – a photo merely of a white background, whilst abstract, is pretty boring. Fortunately, Ingrid here wandered into the shot, just in time!
As an experiment, I took these shots with perhaps the cheapest lens that Canon makes, the 50mm f1.8. No USM, no IS, no L-series optics, coatings or heavy glass; just 130g of ‘toy’ lens. The results show to me that whilst the cheapest, it is possibly their best value for money (c.£90 !!!) given the sharpness of image and decent low-light performance. Remarkable achievement Canon, bravo. I still dream of buying your 50mm f 1.2 one day though…
Shot on a Canon EOS 5D mk 3, with a 50mm lens, at f 3.0, ISO 200 for all, 1/200 sec.
