The St. Johns River Trip


Toby Richards

The St. Johns River is the longest river in the U.S. state of Florida. It is one of a small number of rivers in the United States to run north.

Today we are doing something interesting-

AJ is making a video from the still images we recently shot in Chicago for a technology company.

The idea is to show the process (before/after) we went through in creating an image for the cover of an annual report.

Starting with nothing...a blank slate...an empty room.

First- we had to find a place to shoot where we can turn off the ambient light, make the room dark, set up a studio, not bother anyone.

...but still have the idea we are on location. We chose a long corridor where we could use a telephoto lense to throw the backgound out of focus.



Second-gathering wardrobe, props and the product, finding a subject/model.

Third-lighting the background (add color), middle ground (subject) and foreground (product).

and finally-getting the correct expression on the face.



Talk to you soon.
