Yesterday I headed into the studio with my sister to shoot some promo images for her music. Amanda has been musically gifted since she was a baby, and finally had the opportunity to record her first song in the studio for her 16th birthday at the end of last year. She’s hard at work recording her first album, and wanted to do a fun little session to get some new photos up! I was pretty stoked to test drive a [Canon 5D Mark II] for the first time. While I think the camera itself is a bit “overkill” and “fussy” it was the video function I was most interested in playing around with. Here’s a quick SNEAK PEEK into our shoot yesterday. I’ll be posting more images once I upgrade to CS4 (oops, I didn’t realize I would need that to edit the images!) as well as talking a bit about the camera, and our lighting set-up.
These images were shot with the [Canon 5D Mark II] with my [45mm TSE]. I always find it refreshing to shoot with the Tilt-Shift in studio (every once in a while of course!) and am pretty excited about my first little video shot with the 5D. It’s just for fun, and I’m still getting used to it, but I hope you enjoy! Much more fun stuff like this coming to the blog this year :) Do you want to see more video on the blog? Leave some love below!
