Egan And Ivana

Egan and Ivana among my favorite people on the planet. Ironically, I’ve known Ivana for far longer than I’ve known Egan. And she was an active co-conspirator, every time I’ve used Egan as my guinea pig for lighting experiments, but this is the first time I’ve ever gotten her in front of the camera.

They came out to NJ to visit me, so I took them out to some of my favorite places to shoot along the Boardwalk and Pier in Ocean Grove. We started shooting right at Golden Hour and into the tail end of sunset. The first half of the shoot was done completely in Natural Light and then transitioned to Flash with a MagGrid to limit the spill of and create a more dramatic look.

It was fun to get out there and shoot people pictures again. I haven’t done it nearly as much since the pandemic started. I’ve mainly set about shooting landscapes along the beaches and boardwalks but this was a great way to get the juices flowing.

P.S. Today happens to be Egan’s birthday, so if you see him around the interwebs or in real life, be sure to send him some love.

Sometimes as photographers in church we get sent to the back and told not to move or else! But sometimes when you only have one place to shoot from you have a play. Then you notice some epic light coming it through a window and catch some bad ass shots like this one!

Tomorrow's FRIDAY. . . For most of you that's the start of your weekend but for me I'm SO excited because I'm headed a few hours north for a wedding! . . Which also means I get to see family, a couple friends-- and shoot an amazing wedding for two of the sweetest humans around. . . So even though I tend to work seven days a week, I end up feeling refreshed after a weekend of "work". . . This image above was FULL of discovery for me.. . . I had an image in my head since their engagement, and decided to not try it out at all until their wedding. . . I maneuvered my tripod onto the stairs below, opened my shutter, and had a #maggrid on each side of them. . . I am so thankful they took the two minutes out of the reception for this and trusted me to do what I wanted with no explanation of why they were walking back and forth 😆🙋 . . Hoping you guys have an AMAZING Friday 💋 . . ...and please keep messaging me that good music set list for editing- y'all are giving me great new options!! . . #jj_forum_2079 #madewithmagmod #longexposure_shots (at Kimpton Hotel Van Zandt)

Creating Movement in Photographs Using Shutter Drag - With Alpha Delta Pi Charleston

How do you turn an event full of dancing in movement into something boring and stale? It’s quite simple. Stick a flash on your camera, point it bare at the subject and freeze them in time. Sometimes it works. Sometimes the expression on your subject is so strong, or a reaction in the background is so expressive that the photograph still conveys emotion. With the right flash equipment, you can completely isolate the subject from the background of a dance floor and truly capture the emotion on someone’s face. Often, though, you manage to strip the motion out of a picture and completely sterilize it. 

When I photograph dancing, I always drag the shutter when I can. Dragging the shutter refers to setting a relatively slow shutter speed so that the camera receives enough natural light to expose some of the background (not illuminated by flash). This slow shutter speed also creates blur for the portion of the image exposed by the ambient. If the ambient light is too strong, the technique doesn’t work and will result in too much blur of the background, or even the subject of the photograph. If the ambient light is low enough to allow the technique you end up with a subject that is frozen in time by your camera’s flash (on or off) and a background that communicates motion. 

EQUIPMENT: Canon 5D mkiii, Sigma Art 35mm, Canon 600 EX-RT, Magmod Modifiers

SETTINGS: This is pretty easy. I set my iso around 1000 or so (depends on lighting condition), but just enough to allow my flash to fire at less than full power for quicker recharge times. I set the aperture to 3.5 or so to allow a little bit of error in focus. The shutter is then set between 1/15 and 1/30s. Most of the time when I am using this technique I am using my flash on camera with a diffuser. This way I can assure that center framing my subject will consistently freeze their motion. FLASH: I always use my Magmod Magsphere when using on camera flash. It spreads the light, creating an even, more naturally lit subject. If i need reduce flash spill I throw on a Maggrid as well. 

If executed correctly, you end up with one of two things: A photo that beautifully communicates the natural motion of the event, or the photographer’s artistically induced motion. Here is what I mean: 

The latter technique is shown here. When the ambient light is really low, you can create motion by moving the camera immediately after the shutter button is pressed, creating blur in only the bright lights of the venue, with all focus still retained on the wedding couple. 

Now, I’ll demonstrate the typical shutter drag technique with the lovely girls of College of Charleston’s Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. Most importantly, remember to always do things differently. Create feelings in photographs. Feelings trump technical perfection every time. 

And now the less exciting, but equally important group shots :D

I seek and stalk good light. If I can't find the type of light I am looking for, then I need to shape the light to aid my vision.⠀ ⠀ In love with @magnetmod 's #Maggrid .
