the second podcast - "behind the camera" - with photographer Gilad Larom

a photographing of an actress in the studio

Liron turned to me for new image material.
She wanted new pictures that featured her as an actress, which meant a variety of charecters' moods etc.
When she arrived at the studio, she was very aimable and very co-operative. She managed to losen up rather quickly (as actors do) and we could let our mutual creativity just flow.


We had a make up girl but it was all tuned very fine. also, because the images did not go to a strict comercial use, we were able to maintain a clean and natural look without over-proccessing the images.


here are a few samples:

a photo session with the wonderful actress Hilla Vidor

The images from the shot with actress Hilla Vidor were spectacular.

Her agency loved them and I hope you will too.
We worked on a few defenitive looks and concepts going toward glamour and beauty.
Beeing an actress made it easy for her to slip into different characters for the camera.
She really gives herself to the images.

The lighting was pretty basic, mostly single light bare flashes, white background.

here are some selected images from the shoot

and the portrait in motion

portrait in motion

 

A session with Actress Hilla Vidor. 

She's a talented young actress who plays a wide variety of characters. 

she just fineshed shooting some very successful movies and TV series.

Our shooting, though essentially with a clear concept, touched different characters

once, she was the femme fatale, other times the quiete beauty, a tough lady etc.

Hair & make up was done by the gifted and funny Sharon Maimon.

a PR shot of a new Artist

I was asked to shoot an artist in his new gallery. 

He's featuring his work and his study in the same room in the old city of Jaffa (next to tel aviv)

I wanted to use available light as much as possible, but for some reason, he liked to use white florocent tubes for the study. 

so I ended up using my camera Flashes as a fill. 

I used my Canon 5D MK II with the L-Glass, with the EX580 as a strobe. 

some business portraits

Oneof the more challenging subjects to shoot are business portraits.

You only have a few moments of the CEO's time and you have to make an image with the right impact. It has to project this person's personality, mix it with confindence and self assurance yet friendly and inviting. All in the same image.

Sometimes you can only shoot them in their office, so you have to travel light and make do with very little available light and some small flashes .

But I do like this theme very much. It is always interesting to meet new people and addapt quickly to their personalities .

corporate coaching portrait

Today's assignment was to shoot a lecturer, a presenter.

The Image was to portrait him in "action" he wanted the dynamic of him speaking in front of a crowd to be recaptured in the studio.

This meant combining the perfection and "lab-situation" of the studio, with field gestures and energies.

We tried different approaches of spontaneous and staged performances.

We ended up combining both techniques with interesting results.
