The Girlfriends of Fallen soldiers

a magazine story I shot illustrations for: 

The Girlfriends of Fallen soldiers - what is their social and economical status ? 

I shot the images on 2 different locations, using one small strobe on a tripod and 

balancing it with the ambient light to create a dramatic yet soft scene.

shooting for a movie poster

A while ago I shot a movie production on the set. I loved shooting the crew setting up gear, the actors getting into character and envisioning a scene. 

I accompanied them in 2 different locations. Got some beautiful shots, some got went as a cover for the PR print. 

As it happens, the whole movie was revised. They had to drop a lot of scenes and reshoot new ones on a new location. The movie is nominated for an important Film prize in Cannes.

So a new Poster image had to be shot. 

so yesterday we drove to the last location and worked on an image that could best represent the new movie.

It was again an interesting process only this time I wasn't really shooting on the "set", I had the actors all to myself so we could focus much better on a certain image and atmosphere. 

It was a beautiful setting and the natural light became more and more attractive, but I decided to emphasize the ambient light with some fill flash held by a voice activated tripod (the make up artist). 

on some images it provided exactly the right "push" to change it from a nice flat image to a more dramatic picture. 

The set was shot with my 5D MK II with the Canon 580EX Flash and a Nikon SB800 in Slave mode on about 1/4 power. 

Film Director: Yarden Karmin
Actrice: Hila Vidor
Actor: Erez Cahana

here are some images from the shooting: 

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. 

the beach/ workout shoot with Lisa

was an excellent shoot, a lot of fun, Lisa was very active, creative and funny.
There were also a lot of lessons to be learned. Which is the purpose of the exercise.
Sand, Sea, Water and very difficult light situation.
