Ailene & Steve


Ailene & Steve

Today, I worked with two very professional models at my studio in Lowell. When I asked the two of them to pretend to be partners, they stepped right into the role without hesitation. Judging by the pictures, you wouldn't be wrong to think they were partners.

It's that time of year around here in New England when all the leaf peepers head up north to see the gorgeous color changes. This photo is stitched together from 22 images.

Joe McNally, photojournalist and lighting expert, came to the Boston area to deliver a seminar/workshop to the Commercial Industrial Photographers of New England. The photo above is a 360° panoramic stitched image of Joe demonstrating how to light the model. This is the equirectangular projection 2:1 ratio. To see this in full 360° rotation, visit my virtual tour page of this image.


I'm sure that like me, you'll want to purchase some of the cool gear you see all around in the image. Be sure to give Mark Astmann, Product Manager at Bogen Imaging, a call (201.818.9500) or Email Mark, and he'll hook you up with the right stuff.


Joe also published his book, The Moment it Clicks, and he generously shares his knowledge about how the photographs were lit and taken.
