Singer: Stuart Warren (New Pictures)

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping by.

NEWSFLASH: I’m happy to report that the broadband is finally fixed working; in fact it’s actually quicker than before I reported the fault so there’s always a positive huh

Anyway today I’d like to share some new pictures with you from a promotional shoot a few weeks back with a singer by then name of Stuart Warren who tours as The Voice of Neal Diamond.

The first time I heard Stuart’s voice I was a guest at a friends’ wedding and I kid you not I actually thought it was a CD playing; incredible likeness to the man himself:

Tweeking the Invislble Black Backdrop
Om as for the shoot, the brief from Stuart was for minimal lighting, so for the majority I used an Elinchrom Quadra (2 heads) and tweeked the Invisible Black Backdrop technique I’ve written about before [Link]

Basically if I wanted a little more ambient light to creep into the shot so that some of the environment could be seen it was just a case of slowing the camera’s shutter speed down i.e from 1/160sec to 1/125sec etc…simples

The shot above was lit using the 2 heads arranged pretty much as in this lighting diagram:

Right that’s all from me so but as always if you have any questions/comments then please feel free to make use of the comments section below.

In the mean time thought, whatever you’re up to this weekend have a good one and I’ll catch you back here next week when I’ve some exciting news to tell you about
Enjoy,
Glyn
