Todays shoot with Leanne Christenson

Well done leanne, cant wait to get your selection to retouch



Einstein photographic lighting from Paul C Buff

For the last week I've had the fortunate pleasure of testing out a new product on shoots, The new Einstein lights are not yet available in Australia (but yes you can order them here)  http://paulcbuff.com.au/cms/ Im very use to using the Elinchrom 600rx in studio and use them daily, all I can say is that Im ordering at least 2 Einsteins, I found them very reliable, perfect exposure every time and perfect colour temp each time, even at 4fps (see the photo below) (and yes it can shoot faster) and all operated from battery (vagabond) I had 4 lights hooked up at once with no problems. Contact Colin to place your order   http://paulcbuff.com.au/cms/

Why are head shots so important?????

WHY YOUR HEADSHOT IS SO IMPORTANT
So you have taken some acting or modelling classes, been on some auditions and castings and you are wondering why no one is beating down your door to star in the next fashion advertising campagne or film. Well, probably because they do not know you exist. No offense, but most likely they don’t. How will they find out that you are a wonderful model or actor? Well the first thing they will probably see of you, whether they are an agent, a director or a casting person – is your headshot.
That’s right. Your headshot enters the room long before you do. It is the chance to make that ever so important first impression. You may be mailing it in for a casting notice or handing it to a moderator at an audition, but it will get in the room before you do. As a matter of fact, it will most likely determine whether or not you get in the room at all. You want it to jump off the paper and yell at them “Cast me! I am the one you are looking for!”
