No 0614 Amelia's Mane Flowing Out Of The Helmet

*#filmdetails No 0614 Amelia's Mane Flowing Out Of The Helmet^Model: Amelia
Location: Apartment in Beijing
Styling: Nizi

Amelia's beautiful long black hair somehow reminds me at ... a horse tail.
Hey, this is meant in a very positive way! I love horses. And a horse tail
is an element that you will find again and again in my photographs. I could
also say it reminds me of a horse mane - however, this would not the exact
truth.This time I got myself an old English style horse riding helmet. I
bought it from Taobao, the Chinese equivalent of eBay. I took portrait
pictures of Amelia wearing this helmet one time with her "mane" flowing out
of the helmet and another time with her all of her hair hidden behind her
back (so that I could capture her face).

I made a quick little

video that
explains the lighting setup of the whole photo shoot.

Go check it out. It's on http://smokingstrobes.com

Good light!

Dear photographer, if you don't dream big, how can your shoot turn out big? Accidentally or something?

Your photo shoot was rubbish? Every photographer in recorded history produced a lot of rubbish - so you are in good company. Just shoot on!

Never had any flash sync issues with my 5D MK II, but Strobist found a 5D that behaves odd: http://bit.ly/7oUYow

Photographer, what's your plan for this weekend?

Roger's camera-hand photographer T-shirt design is cool. It's a good philosophy: http://bit.ly/7FV9Jr

Dear photographer, sometimes in a photo shoot, the thing you really really focus on, keeps you from seeing the potential of the scene.

Chase Jarvis really get's how we photographers want to socialize in the new decade: http://bit.ly/8FsBBM Mad respect Chase!

Photographers, how about wiping the canvas for 2010 - committing flickr suicide? just joking ;-)

Photographers, what's the one thing you are going to change in your workflow in 2010? (I'm curious)

Got a feeling that 2010 is going to be my kind of year

Fellow photographers, what nerdy photo equipment did you buy yourself for Christmas?
