alright guys what's going on I am in Lincoln Road in South Beach 2018 it is
Halloween this is my fifth year doing my Halloween photography project this year
I'm gonna do it with the Nikon z7 so I'm really excited about that and still
early people haven't come out yeah a few people in their costumes but mainly kids
and families so just waiting a couple hours so my photo assistants arrive then
we're gonna get started Halloween 2018 Miami Beach let's do it
alright guys I am here with Nietzsche and Diego and we were about to start
we're gonna take a few warm-up shots here and then we're gonna get it
cracking so how do we 2018 in Miami Beach Lincoln Road right here I'm just
starting out getting a feel for my lighting as you can see it was really
windy which is why I have my lighting assistants hold my light I like to move
the light around just to get the right lighting before I start shooting and
then pick a background where I can get a pleasing photo I chose to use a 69 inch
softbox because it's really soft light soft flattering light and I can move it
around no matter where I move it it's gonna provide really good light I put my
hand in the air so the subject knows where to look and then I try to get a
variety of shots
I always direct my models or subjects with my hand it's a lot easier if you
just move your hand where you want the subject to go they'll automatically
understand that even if they've never modeled before I like to get my
background just right using a Botero background right here we're on the
street so people walk in the way and then we just move our light around and
we try to get the best photo we can under the circumstances
thank you
then it is 15
so we were just shooting and the I don't know some cop said my supervisor told me
that you're not allowed to shoot bla bla bla
of course the police they always have these explanations they don't have any
documentation i've always shot every year long as you're holding the light
you don't have it down on the actual ground technically you're you're fine so
a bunch of BS but we're gonna keep it moving walking around with such a big
modifier can be a little challenging having 69 inches on an octa box it's a
little funny as you can see here it's basically taking up the entire sidewalk
there's there's only one McDonald's on Lincoln Road I'm a to lighting
assistance and then my friend Anthony met up with us to help out
what Disney chief we go kart interesting I say oh you can do this without a
permit I said yes I kinda fell against it
because it was so windy and because the cops were harassing me I changed from my
69 inch soft box to my 39 inch soft box taking off the 69 inch soft box it falls
right there and breaks the flash - I didn't know it at the time but it was
actually broken and therefore unable to use it unfortunately it's just a bad
design by braun color
No
happy Halloween well I think she likes the brother I
found out that it was broken when I started shooting this guy named Hale who
was Hugh Hefner and the light was not trigger and he kept saying error trying
to figure out what was going wrong I was frustrated on the inside obviously I'm
not trying to show it and outside but I was really really frustrated
unfortunately Brian caller makes the worst mouse possible as I was taking off
my other modifier it went too far down and actually broke the flash too so I
can't use my brown color light now I have to use just a speed light sucks but
we're gonna keep it moving try to just normal icon speed light
I didn't have my other light with me so I had to drive home get my light get my
other modifier and equipment and then drive all the way back to South Beach
and by that time it became packed everyone's out doing this project I want
to photograph as many people as possible so I got right to it and photographed
the first people I saw which was the Flintstones if I don't have a good
background I like to use my own that's why I have a portable traveling studio I
love this clowns makeup it was just incredible often times you'll run into
some people whose costume doesn't match I like to take a group photo just to
make them feel good and then I photograph each one of them individually
having the background makes all the difference as you can see in these
photos but that is you know
next it was time to get some a revenge the police were parked buying this is
sort of how I felt about them earlier in the night hope I got the whole flip oh
we got whiteboard this girl Samantha just started posing against a police car
I would never ask anybody to do this she just did it so I ran with it
I'm always looking for really good-looking people but I really like
when the costume matches as well here we got the red color on a Nikon C was
incredible
not only was a color rendition really good right out of camera but it produced
super super sharp images with a 45 megapixel sensor
there
No
I'm gonna try to fight it to the fire lose the battery on this thing if we had
a peanut butter jam all right let's do it
later in the night things got pretty crazy
