              How A Good Behind The Scenes Video Should Be Made

              Shawn Smith is a photographer from Melbourne Australia. His company Blinq sent us this very informative BTS video outlining how they recently shot editorial portraits for two Ironman triathletes Luke Bell and Matt White. What caught me most about this video was how Shawn gave so much detail and insight into each photograph he was setting up. They were using top of the line gear like Profoto 7B packs and beauty dishes, but all of these shots could have easily been produced with less expensive gear and small speedlight modifiers for the photographer working with a budget. If you want to see how Sean and crew approach shooting triathletes underwater and in their natural element, check out the exciting video we featured back in December.

                Question though… 1/400 with off-camera strobes? How does that work?

                Interesting to see how some photographers choose to dress for work.

                What was on the eyecup of his camera?

              • http://www.blinqphotography.com Blinq Photography

                Some maintenance work (with the tap) plus the eyepiece is replaced to allow the AquaTech (or similar) rain jackets.
