Continuing The Masters of Photography Series-"Made-Up" with Gary Heery
Continuing my series on master photographers, I teamed up with my new mate Gary Heery. Unscripted as ever, I wanted to show how Gary approaches portrait photography and his work in general. The film is shot as SunStudios in Sydney as Gary works on his new exhibition featuring make up artists. This exhibtion is a labour of love for Gary and so he is free to express himself without boundaries. It was also a labour of love for me so I get to work free of constraints to produce an Authentic portrait of Gary’s work.
Basically for me this Series is what I was looking for as a young aspiring photographer-A real view of how the masters work in order to learn how to work myself.
Bondi beach series
I just brought a new flash, an Elinchrom 400 ELB with a EL Skyport Plus-HS transmitter and HS Quad flash heads. They enable flash sync at up to 1/8000 of a second, so basically you can have powerful off camera flash with a very small depth of field. So along with Chad my new assistant I have been walking up and down Bondi beach looking for interesting people to test the flash on.
