A Girl And Some Tunes: The Girl On The Run
The Cure - Jumping Someone Else's Train
www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1oWf07FRCw
She's on the run, trying to escape something or someone she can't even remember.
She's been running along this railroad for hours. She's so tired, she needs to rest. She decides to sit down for a while.
As time passes she's getting dreamy and forget she's trying to escape.
She finally decides to go on. She gets back on her feet and takes a look at the horizon. The sun is now fading as the night begins to fall.
She's looking straight ahead, it's now time to leave. Whatever she may find, it could not be worst.
She's turning back one last time to take a look at what she leaves...

Strobe info:
One Quadra Hybrid left to the subject through a Deep Octa Mini at 2 meter high.
I was on tour in Belgium with my band last weekend and took the opportunity to do a few photos for our good friends The Rhumba Kings at the Ace Cafe before our show on Sunday.
It is a very small place with low ceilings and proved quite a challenging space to work in with my lights, but I’m pleased with how this one turned out! This was one of the first ‘test’ shots I snapped as I was getting the lighting right and happily it turned out to be one of the picks of the bunch.
The two rim lights were just out of shot to the rear on both sides, crammed in against the corner walls of the venue - they couldn't be any further away.
The main was out in front in a deep octabox, as high as I could get it against the low ceiling!

Too big, too heavy... I replace my strobes profoto D1 kit by two Elinchrom Quadra Hybrid...
For this first test, I use the 39" deep octa on left screen, Westcott Illuminator Reflector 52″ white on right for fill shadow and a quadra with 7" reflector + 10 degree grid. For more easy auto-portait I use my laptop in tethering mode.

Trop encombrant, trop lourd,... J'ai remplace mon Profoto D1 par deux Elinchrom Quadra Hybrid.
D'avantage de details sur mon blog.
Pour mes premiers test, j'ai disposé la deep octa 100 à gauche et un autre quadra avec le réflecteur 7" + une grille de 10 degres pour détaché le sujet du fond. Le réflecteur de 52" à droite pour remplir les ombres. Je ne me rappele plus des réglages de puissance, par contre j’étais sur la sortie B (puissance faible). Je n’ai pas encore de light-meter, donc j’ai chercher mes réglages par tâtonnement. J’ai utilisé mon portable en mode tethering pour faciliter l’auto-portrait. Aprés plus de 100 déclenchements, les batterie demeure encore presque intactes.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai trouvé le temps entre deux rendus de faire des photos dans le campus de Dreamworks Animation de mon voisin de bureau.
Pour l'éclairage, j'ai disposé la deep octa 100 à droite et un autre quadra avec le réflecteur 7" + une grille de 20 degrès sur la gauche de l'écran. J'ai essayé de faire un éclairage légé (contrairement a hier)
Merci à Matt de m'avoir consacré de son temps.

Pour cette photo, j'ai utilisé 2 flashes :
- Quadra avec une deep octa 100 en haut à gauche
- Quadra avec le réflecteur 7" + gel orange sur la droite a travers un Westcott Illuminator Reflector 6-in-1 52″ blanc.
L'exposition et les iso peuvent semblés exotiques, mais c'était la seule combinaison que j'ai trouvé pour avoir assez de lumière ambiante.
Merci à Molly et sa souris pour avoir été mes modèles !

A Girl And Some Tunes: The Girl Who Runs The 21
Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsObSw3_LUo
The "21" is one of America’s most famous speakeasies from the Prohibition Era. It officially opened on January 1, 1930. Everyone believed that it was a man who runs at the time. But a girl ruled the place. Now let's follow her story...
Running a joint like this was not an easy job during those times. But she was a firm-handed woman.
She has to know every dirty little secret of every politician, cop, or journalist in the town. Now she's waiting for a very important call from one of these men.
The phone rings as she drinks a shot of whiskey. The man on the phone tells her someone wants to murder her.
As she puts down the phone she pours herself another shot. She wonders how someone could dare to threat her life?
The alcohol gives her confidence. She thinks the man probably told her lies, maybe to trick herself...
This is a special episode, made for the 7th birthday of the "A Girl And Some Tunes" series. The story takes place during the prohibition era. Enjoy it!
