The Wednesday Rundown 2.23.11

Howdy, and welcome to the Wednesday Rundown. This week Lee and Patrick are off in Vegas for the WPPI. I got the privilege of video chatting with them last night and they seem to be doing just fine. This week we have a video response the the candle wax shoot shown on the front page and a cool portrait shoot on a wind turbine. If you have a video that you think we might like to post, please click on “submit content” above.

Candle Wax Shoot:

A cool video that uses some plexiglass and candle wax. I like this mixed shoot and the final images turn out very creative.

Turbine Portrait:

A different portrait shoot on top of a wind turbine. How did this guy get clearance for this? Very unique idea to capture the worker in his true environment.

Fitness Magazine:

A shoot with some hot bodies in a gym. Check out the front over magazine shoot.

Turbine shoot::
I’m the photographer of the turbine shoot.
It’s actually not a worker, but a politician from Germany’s green party. The portrait will see usage as PR material in his election campaign (state parliament elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, March 20th, 2011). Making a connection between jobs (the turbines are built in town) and environmental responsibility (green party program).
Getting permission was super easy. Basically a phone call and a few emails were exchanged with their PR and lobby department. They even send a lobby representative over to attend the shoot.
The turbine company took care of everything. In my 10+ years in the industry, I have never ever experienced such a well organised and smooth shoot.
The shoot got moved four or five times, due to schedule or weather issues. But after 4 weeks, we finally made it happen.

The candle wax video is almost an identical idea of a video I saw of another photographer but his was with paint… Almost an exact copy.
Hmmm…

Yeah David, I think that was the whole point, he watched a video and reproduced the effects in his own photography. Pretty good execution for sure!
