It’s time to turn up the heat around here…meet Marianne.

Marianne pushed Jorge and i out of our comfort zone and made us think, which is a good thing! We started shooting in an old cargo container. Not the most interesting location but we made it work using a cross lighting setup. Marianne told us she was a little nervous, it certainly didn’t appear that way in the first shot of the day!

We hung around in the container shooting for about 40 minutes and then packed up our gear and headed over to 7th & Harrison and shot using the Mac Dre Memorial Mural as our background. This right here was my favourite shot of the day! It’s shot above the sync speed of my camera so the black bar caused by doing this occluded the road at the bottom of the shot…no need for Photoshop that way. There’s a lighting diagram for this shot. I’ll go as far to say that this was the most difficult shot we have had to work out how to light so far.

Here’s another one from this location featuring the boom box bag Marianne purchased specially for this location!

I’ll end with a shot taken at the same location we shot Sheila & Walt at last week. We used a small alley that we haven’t used at that location before. Setup was simple, 2 lights behind Marianne at full power and a softbox up front.

We really had a lot of fun on this shoot. Marianne was an incredible subject (thanks Marianne!) with a clear idea of the style of photos she wanted. I think we came pretty close to that idea.

Marianne is pretty much the last free shoot we had on our books. We are officially ending our TFP project now…unless you are a model!
