Pitman

I shot some more images recently for the Eliot Smith Company's latest production - Pitman.

This dance piece is based on the work of The Ashington Group, more commonly known as the Pitmen Painters. 

See the previous post here for the full story about them.

This time Eliot arrived with various props including Davy lamps, pick axes and miners helmets. So just a regular day in the studio!

He then showed me some of the original paintings that he wanted to reproduce as publicity images for the production. They were set down a coal mine.  

Now obviously the studio doesn't look much like a working coal mine so I knew I'd be putting backgrounds in with Photoshop. 

The challenge was to get the lighting right on the dancers in a bright white studio, so that it would fit in with the chosen background later. I used a 300w studio light on a low power setting, fitted with a beauty dish and honeycomb grid. I positioned it at the same height as the miner's Davy lamp and as close to the models faces as possible without it being in shot.

Below is one of the images as it was shot.

And here is the final edit, with added coal mine! (click to enlarge)

I have to say I'm really pleased with how they all turned out.

Affordable Priceless Memories.

It's been a busy weekend....

Along with shooting a wedding (Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Ullock) we've had family and baby shoots in the studio and we also had world renowned choreographer Maurice Causey in with the Eliot Smith Company of dancers. He'd flown in specially from Amsterdam to choreograph a new work with Eliot and his team. 
Nothing like a bit of variety to make the time fly by!

Here are a few images from the last week.

What a lovely day!

Wednesday I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of Jacqueline and Stan. The weather in Morpeth was glorious, the bride was beautiful and the groom was a bag of nerves. It's amazing how the simple act of getting married can turn a tough 6'4" bloke into a nervous wreck!

However, he coped admirably and it was an amazing day.

So congratulations to the Swiateks, enjoy the honeymoon!
