bf1 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 <p>I'm trying to figure out how to achieve this look. The swatches of color, the motion blur (??), etc. Is this done in camera? If so, any tips? If in post, also any tips?</p> <p>http://www.trendnista.com/fashion-women/constance-jablonski-by-camilla-akrans/</p> <p>Thanks!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimpic Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 <p>Copy that?<br> To me it looks like hot lights with the shutter set short of freezing the image.<br> In my view I don't think you will find many editors buying that sort of stuff.<br> Oh, I forgot to mention, that parts of the image are way over, that is somewhat burnt out.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_chartrand Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 <p>Brian,</p> <p>I've always tried to eliminate lens flare with a good lens hood. Are you really sure you want your photographs to look like those? I think Jeff knows what he is talking about.</p> <p>Mark</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toniolombardi Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 <p>I find them interesting... he/she might have used rear curtain flash with a slow shutter speed there...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_wilson1 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 <p>Antonin Kratochville (sp?) used to shoot some excellent examples of shots similar to these, you should try to search some out.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bf1 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 <p>Well, considering that Camilla Akrans regularly publishes in Vogue, Numero, Harpers, etc., it would seem there are at least some editors buying this. Personally, I think those pics aren't her best work, but it illustrates the technique I was asking about.</p> <p>Dave, thanks for the ref to Antonin Kratochvil.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_wilson1 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 <p>Brian, American Photographer Nov. 1986, there is a great article on him, I no longer have it but you could probably find it somewhere. This was my first exposure, no pun intended, to his work and I thought it was just awesome considering all done on some basic manual Nikons (of course). Now today we need all this 24 mp techno-pop stuff or the world shifts on axis. Enjoy your clicking!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrstubbs Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 <p>Just a suggestion Brian. Expose for the flash and set time for the movement required. Use a reflective surface as part of the background, making the the light partly reflect into the lens(to taste)...this will create the aperture shapes.<br> The longer time will allow some exposure of the models movement. If you allow the model some movement you may need to use a tripod, to lessen the effect. If that movement is too much..then have the model hold as still as possible...whilst you hold the camera and let the movement come from your moving hands. You will have to work out how much lighting you want, eg; from the ambient available.<br> A slow fan could give the hair enough extra movement.<br> I think the hair effect in the images is lovely.<br> There is post work in the images ..how much, I couldn't say. But I think they are different enough to attract attention. I like them.<br> Good luck. :~)</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
