I was involved in the coolest photoshoot yesterday.

Fleur, a friend from uni (I've posted several photos of her previously), decided to do a shoot based on some rare Pulp songs. We got two actors, Nick and Kiloran, stuck them in costume, played them the song on repeat and then got them to improvise a scene based on the song. It was the coolest way to do a shoot, ever. Like being in a tiny theatre.

Fleur was there taking the proper photos, I just hung around trying to figure out how to use her 80-200mm lens on manual focus.

First song was 'P.T.A' - about a teacher who wants to sleep with his student. Directions to actors: 'Nick, you're at home, when Kiloran suddenly turns up in your bedroom.'

It got creepy.



Nick.



Kiloran.











A quick break for lyrics reading



And then on to the next song - 'You're Not Blind', about a guy who knows his wife is cheating on him. Cue Kiloran getting ready to go out, and Nick sitting on the bathroom floor bein' all despairing. My favourite moment was when Kiloran came over and asked 'So, how do I look?' and Nick just sighed, and said softly '...Beautiful.' So cliched, so adorable.

















The last song was one about a guy whose girlfriend has just broken up with him, and for the life of me I can't remember what it was called.













Lol @ facial expressions.



Photogasm, much?

Also I really like to two close ups drinking from the cup.

ecky_ducky on Mar 02 '08 at 8:21pm
Yes, that cup pleased me.



And I blame Fleur for all the awesome things I get up to. She'll be all 'Hey, I've got this concept for a photo, let's go!'



Whereas I'm all 'Hey, I've got this concept for a photo, let's do it...sometime.'



Although, next Sunday I'm doing a gothic ballroom shoot in an abandoned underground carpark, with buttloads of people. And that was me being proactive, but only because the carpark is being demolished in a fortnight.

you need to use some curves to bring up your whites a bit, photos consisting of only midtone grays + black feel a bit flat when they dont have any highlights coming out.

These are straight off camera, Matt, but I'll fiddle around with some tonight and see what effects I can achieve. Thanks for the critique.



And shirt, isn't it rad? She has to call herself Laura when giving her name to people at food venues, cos they get very confused.



And thankee, smitten.

the sequence of the shots looks good...



I miss the creative environment that uni provides sometimes...

Original





10 seconds in curves, though not finished obviously.



Pops the subject, but I guess it depends on your creative vision. I don't show photos that I haven't given the once over to (even if in that once over I decide not to do anything).

It really was a totally awesome idea, Daniel. We're doing it again on Thursday.



Thanks, Mr Jackanapes!

Ha, no, that was entirely your own doing. Go steal some ham or something.

Congrats.

I was in a book once. Well, not me, technically, my wife. And she was nude, with her eyes obscured by a black box. And it wasn't a book, it was a magazine. And it wasn't my wife, just some chick I was looking at. Whilst naked."
