REMOTE + SHOOTING

In light of the pandemic, I have been thinking about the future and wondering what our new “normal” will be. In an effort to problem-solve during these challenging times, I have been testing how to conduct a photo shoot remotely with only the talent on set. Using professional cameras and lighting, I set off to discover what was possible and how to best put existing technology to use. Below are four case studies that illustrate my process and results. While I want to show what I’m capable of capturing, what I really want to impart is how much I’m working to adapt to the realities of now and that there is a bespoke approach to making any project shine.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my page. Whether natural light lifestyle or studio with strobe, there are so many facets of my tests that I couldn’t fit into this treatment. I’d love the opportunity to discuss remote shooting with you more in depth.

All the best!

CLIENT EXPERIENCE

In terms of the shoot experience, clients and shoot participants will log on to a video conferencing app and see an integrated livestream of the shoot. Images will be displayed in real-time and clients, digital tech, stylists, talent and I will be able to have a creative dialog throughout the shoot.

THANK YOU!
