Samad and Firdous' Wedding Trailer

Rodinis — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:53:56 +0000

Over the weekend of New Years 2010, I partnered up with Mike Plymale and his wife for a very exciting project. We spent four days with Samad and Firdous, covering all three events of their traditional Pakistani wedding, as well as the henna process and a special location photoshoot. I'll be posting their trailer in the next couple of days, so stay tuned...

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...

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. . .

look what i found.

look what i found., originally uploaded by rodinis.

I appropriated a Hasselblad 500 C/M this weekend, but it's missing a back. KEH has quite a few but they're all labeled different - some missing dark slides, some not matching their inserts, blah blah blah - and ranging from $59 to $300. I have a few bids out on EBay right now, so if nothing comes of those, I'll try my luck with KEH.

I met with John/Ham today so he could take a look at the 'blad - it's been sitting and hiding in my step-father's house for nearly 15 years. John tinkered with it a bit and loaded his Polaroid back to take a test shot (he brought his entire Hasselblad kit with him to talk shop).

The camera seems to be in great shape and I'll be putting it to good use - I've already planned to use it to take get a new perspective for my upcoming campaign series with a fashion designer. More on that at a later date.

I met Andy and Michael of Holiday Parade over a month ago through our mutual friend Anna. They are a great couple of guys with such strong musical presence.

In addition to some band photographs for their MySpace page, I went to the Atlanta show during their Tour in June. You can see more of the images from both sessions in my Bands / Events gallery.

fun in the dryer

tumble dry high heat only., originally uploaded by rodinis.

Carli was posing on top of the dryer, doing laundry in her undies. All I said was that, "I wish we had someone small enough to fit in the dryer."
This is the result of what happened next.

Strobist info: WL 1600 in 2x3' softbox horizontally, above camera right. SB-800 in dryer. Photo straight from the camera.

Remember, tumble-dry on high heat only.
