Video Shoot

We spent twelve hours on the set of JJ's new music video shoot this past Monday. I spent a lot of time thinking about lighting, and not much time actually holding a camera. Here are a couple of frames from one of the first set-ups of the day as our cameraman, John Moessner, captured some footage of Johnna (one of the three models on set).

More Lighting

This is Bradley Gregg. Yesterday he worked with us on JJ's latest music video as director/producer/editor.

A photographer friend of mine lent us some lights for the shoot, and while we had a little downtime I shot a few portraits using a one and two-light setup.

Here's a moody shot using a single umbrella. His fist reminds me of Dr Claw from Inspector Gadget.

For this b&w image I I used a second light to highlight his hair from behind (not very noticeable in this shot), and a make-shift reflector (our roll-up JJ Heller Poster for our merchandise table at gigs) to bounce a little light back onto the right side of his face.
