A Peek Behind The Storm

Q: Several Chambers of Commerce are attending the annual Mayor’s Luncheon to take group portraits with him.  How can you make these portraits with LA’s Mayor Eric Garcetti extra special?

A:  Let’s photograph the various groupings against a large, grey-seamless background, with a huge bank of strobes, to simulate daylight coming in through a window.  Afterward, I’ll composite the portraits, shot against grey, into a studious library setting—to give them a regal-magestic feel.

Q: Can you make our dealership stand out from the background?  We’d like to use it as a backdrop for client portraits with their new vehicles—months before their cars are built and delivered from Italy.

A:  Sure; and how about we also composite slot-car tracks into the street, leading right into the dealership.

Q: I’d really love my ring on my necklace to show.  Can you make it appear in my headshot?  And, can you do something about all that fly-away hair?

A: No problem, and we’ll also remove those nasty reflections in your eyeglasses too.

Q: Wow, how did you locate that serene-looking gorilla bathing in the stream?

 A: Just closed my eyes and used a little imagination.

Q: Can you composite the crewman onto gangways in addition to adding engine-room lighting, smoke passes and foreground elements to make this motion-control model look like Titanic’s full-size engine room?

A: Sure, and how about re-inserting a slow push-in during the shot’s duration, to heighten dramatic effect.  (See final feature shot below.)
