One of my fave places here in Macau. Not a hard hike and very near our apartment. So dragging my stuff up there is not that hard.

A Hug
30 of 365
"A hug is a form of physical intimacy, that usually involves closing or holding the arms around the neck or waist of another person or group of persons"
-Wikipedia
Everyone knows what a hug means.
Info:
Main light is a beauty dish with grid coming from the top with an A-head Elinchrom Quadra. LP 120 flagged from camera left and right flagged/gobo'd and zoomed to 85mm. Fill from a 580 EX through a China ringlight. BG light from a Falcon Eyes monolight with snoot and grid camera right with a cerulian blue gel pointed at an old reflector hence the texture.
Triggered with PW FlexTT5, Plus II and the built in IR receiver for the monolight.

Took a walk up the nearest walking trail from our apartment and brought along a few lighting gear. I have this lighting idea in my mind but i still can't "find" it. will probably have to endure more hiking with a heavy bag on my back to find it.

Monster Dog
20 of 365
Monster Dog by Oakley. This has been with me for almost 6 years now. Should probably have it retired. I don't usually shoot macro but this time i wish i had a macro lens.
Let's go!
shot with a 40x40cm softbox on top of the eyewear with LP 120. the bokeh is from drinking glasses stacked together and lit with a red gelled and gridded LP120 from the back. triggered with PW FlexTT5 and Plus II.

Clear blue sky, reflective windows and birds flying around. What more can you ask for for a short photowalk around the neighborhood.
I wish the birds were real, added them in post. : )

How much remote controls can you collect in just a few years?
When I was in college (for a dance degree), I used this idea as part of our thesis production. We used the Seven Deadly sins as our main theme and I was assigned to do "Sloth". I based my work on perconal thought that technology advancement makes the human body move less and less. think Wall-E (but Wall-E was not out yet at that time).
Info:
LP 120 on a 50x70 softbox with half blue gel.
LP 120 attached to the lamp with Full cut CTO
580EX with grid top and a little behind the remotes.

Old Lady with a Veil
14 of 365
I assisted local shooter today on a fashion shoot in a nearby public park. As a second assistant, my first job on the location was look after our equipment while while they scout for shooting spots. This lady came up to me and started speaking to me in Chinese. She was just probably asking what we were doing with so much bags and stuff and of course I asked her for a photo which she gladly obliged. She's probably around 90 years old. Wasn't able to shoot some BTS from the fashion shoot, was kinda busy holding a lightstand or a reflector. good day today. : )
Info:
as natural light as it can be.

Not really an office, but this is where I spend most of my day.
here we go with the info:
LP120 inside the lamp cam left with a knock off orange-gy "sto-fen". 580 ex bounced on the screen of my Mac. Sigma ef 500DG cam right with grid for the prints on the wall. Shoot thru umbrella with LP 120 and blue gel for the "mood" lights.
Triggered with PW tt5 and plus II.

Not Cold in Here
12 of 365
Almost done on my second week and almost all of my stuff in my 365 are all shot indoors. Need to go out soon but the weather isn't really an ideal working environment to me. Can't wait till winter is over!!!
let's get on to it. Info:
Soflighter camera right with LP 120. LP120 camera left with grid. ring light adapter on cam for fill.
*might need to get a new ringlight adapter, this one gives out a funky color. an orbis maybe.

well, at least for me who's from a tropical country. There's something about the winter on this side of the planet than those with snow. It's almost too painful.
Info:
lit from the side. flagged Sigma EF 500 DG camera left and flagged LP 120 camera right both zoomed at 80mm. LP 120 with blue gel for the background

That's exactly how I felt the first time I met him. This is Joe Mcnally, the Indiana Jones of Photography and the Jackie Chan of small strobes. Great photographer and an even greater guy.

lit with 3 strobes. LP 120 above and a little behind through an umbrella with full cut CTO. LP 120 camera left to fill in the shadows with grid. and 580 EX back camera left for the background. the flowers were on a transparent acrylic suspended on 2 chairs.

been wanting to play with this idea. writing with water. thought of it from the Filipino phrase "Ilista mo sa tubig".
info: LP120 shot through a medium softbox camera right for highlights set to the lowest power.
should also add: LED Xmas lights above and behind to get the reflection on the table.
