I Was On Set For This Shoot!!

1:25 AM Mathea 1 comment

FINALLY I get to see one of the spreads that I was on set for this summer in NYC. This spread was shot for Numero by Greg Kadel, one of the photographers that I interned for. I was lucky enough to be on set for this shoot and it was an incredible experience especially since he was shooting for such a prestigious magazine and one of the most famous supermodels in the world. One of my favorite things is being able to be on the shoot and see how everything works behind the scenes and then comparing that experience to the final product.

Behind the scenes experiences are always exciting and interesting whether you are actually working at a photo or film shoot or just watching the behind the scenes extras from your favorite film. The people working behind the label at Filippa K released some behind the scenes pictures from their Fall 2010 Collection campaign shoot and it's great to see what the whole production and final result looked like.

Back Swan

The movie Black Swan, directed by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream), is coming out in December and stars Natalie Portman and Vincent Cassell. I've lost count how many times I have watched the trailer (watch it here) and I am absolutely in love with their advertising. The image of Natalie Portman is so striking and beautiful but also dark and haunting (just look at her eyes) and I think the poster brings all the complexity of the trailer and the emotions into a unique image that sells the movie in a flawless way. Can't wait to see it!

Danze

It is hard for me to think of another editorial that emphasizes shape, form, lines in such a beautifully classic and original way. Sure, most fashion photography is about highlighting these aspects in relationship to the clothes and the body, however what makes this editorial so unique are the ways in which it is explored. It comes across as brilliant and unique and at the same time utterly simple. The studio location simplifies the surroundings and really makes Masha the center of the shoot. She commands her body in the same way a dancer might and her elegance and powerful poses resemble more of how a dancer might act with her body than a supermodel. The 6th image down of her between the ladders is one of my favorite images because of the lines and shapes and the way she uses the ladders as simple props to play off of.
