Black + White Sensual Portraiture | Diana [part one]

Rodinis — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:00:28 +0000

I love when clients allow me to travel, even if it is a place I've been too plenty of times before: New York.

Here are a few shots from my session with Diana, whose Tatar facial features are so unique that anything other than natural light would have been a disservice.

More to follow...

More Beach Shooting

We're back with Lindsey, partly because I lost a lot of images in a hard drive crash, partly because she's that awesome.

Fashion Short Film

Rodinis — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:50:55 +0000

In an effort to get back into creative motion projects, I am filming my first solo short film in a couple of weeks as a collaboration with a fashion designer, hair and makeup artist and an interior decorator. It's going to be pretty "Epic."

You'll see it here first. . .

Beach Photoshoot

Rodinis — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 03:41:24 +0000

A new client I met at a fashion mixer last month booked me for some work on the beach. I'm quite pleased with how the good ones came out. Yes, there were 60% bad ones. Well, 60% lost to (slightly) missed focus.

I went into this shoot wanting to do three things: shoot with a Zeiss (manual focus only) lens wide-open, shoot with the sunset on her back, and fill with a really powerful light.

Manual focus proved quite difficult when you've got sweat filling your eyes, a pentaprism screen that isn't made for manual focusing and a healing broken leg wanting to be soaked in ocean water instead of being subjected to strange positions not known since before the fracture. But nevermind all the challenges, we had a blast creating some different images while entertaining the locals' requests for iPhone pictures with "a famous model." Haha. Yeah.

But all in all, we had a blast. Including my friendly photo assistant, Samantha.

By now, everyone's seen the SNL skit/music video for "On a Boat" featuring T-Pain. funny stuff.

Well, we were on a boat, too.

we really enjoyed making this video, and their second music video from us ("Perfect Day") will be out in October at the Video Release Party - exact date TBA.

EDIT (11/2009): The video is down for now - The Constellations just signed with Virgin Records recently. Expect something new and excited from them soon!

So this is the main space in the new loft/studio.
I'm setting up a 14'-high and 9'-wide backdrop and I have well over thirty feet of shooting distance.

The TV and sofa have been moved into the second bedroom (the door on the right) that is the Lounge/Office/Dressing Room.

Loving the new place.

In other news, I sold the car and I'm pedaling to work (to the other side of the neighborhood downtown).

Quite a few photoshoots coming up and two weddings (!!), so stay tuned...

what's been happening at work

red in black, originally uploaded by rodinis.

Well, I've not updated in a while - things have been quite busy at work.

We're testing out a new RED One camera, perfecting the workflow before we put it to work. Will post some sample clips at some point.
We're shooting a music/dance sequence this week, utilizing the high frame rate and high resolution.

In other news, I'm moving into the new "Rodinis Studio" next Saturday, the 20th. Exciting. And another surprise that may bring itself to fruition this month or early next.

ciao. . .
