A huge thank you to Amy Mae from TTM Management for helping me shoot a spec film to showcase a high key lighting project that could be used by #fashion or #cosmetic brands. Direction for the model was to create a fun edgy vibe and Amy smashed it. I wanted soft light and the Lastolite scrim and the GODOX SL lights were the perfect combination. All shot on handheld Canon UK C70 rig and then on the Canon C70 on DJI Ronin RS3 Pro gimbal with TILTA Advanced Ring. With a Sigma 18-35mm lens it was important not to get the edges of the backdrop in the frame so this meant working closely with the model to understand the restrictions. #cosmeticbrand #fashion #fashionfilm #model #modellife #modelling #videography #videoproduction #filmmaking #creator #creative #beautybrand #newcastlemodel #adagency #creativeadvertising #creativeagency

A huge thank you to Amelia from TTM Management for helping me shoot a spec film to showcase a high key lighting project that could be used by fashion or cosmetic brands. Well aware the shots would need more variation but it was great to create a high key look and capture a model showcasing their skill set. Direction for the model was to create a fun edgy vibe and I think Amelia captured it perfectly. Aswell as a high key look it was very important for me to not get specular highlights. I wanted soft light and the Lastolite HK scrim and the GODOX SL lights were the perfect combination. All shot on handheld Canon UK C70 rig and then on the Canon C70 on DJI Ronin RS3 Pro gimbal with Tilta Advanced Ring. With a Sigma 18-35mm lens it was important not to get the edges of the backdrop in the frame so this meant working closely with the model to understand the restrictions. #cosmeticbrand #fashion #fashionfilm #model #modellife #modelling #videography #videoproduction #filmmaking #creator #creative #beautybrand #newcastlemodel #adagency #creativeadvertising #creativeagency Musical Theatre Studio
