Sunday, 2006-04-09, I accompanied Messrs. JapanCamera to the FotografieBeurs.BE held at Berchem, near Antwerpen, Belgium, where I again was to act as his 'Canon DSLR and Lens Specialist' (FWIW... ;-))
During the day, to keep the photographers busy, all present were offered a chance to shoot a professional photomodel / stripper / erotic show actress, Mrs. Sabrina.
Again, like the Zara-Lee event, there were about 40 photographers shooting, with everything from cellphones to professional DSLR and LF filmcamera's, so again there was no room to change shooting position.
We also had no control over the model's poses nor over the flashlight(s) of other photographers...
This time the complicating fact lied more in the mixed lighting: harsh sunlight from outdoors, tungsten lamps, a mixed halogen spots/fluorescent-tube ceiling, and then those flashlights...
Whitebalance and coloursettings kept changing even during a shot, no way I could correct this during the shoot or even during postprocessing with my skill level...
But the lighting was sometimes nice, good shadowplay etc., and Sabrina gave her best...
So I have chosen to convert to Black & White to 'save the day', and present Sabrina in a different way ;-))
The following images are the result of my second try at this kind of photography.
