In Hawaii with Vincent Laforet 1

Filed under: motion, photography — ryan enn hughes @ 5:31 pm

I’ve been in Hawaii for a week now working with Photographer Vincent Laforet helping to document Pro Surfer Jamie O’Brien.  We have been using several Canon 5DII’s, and a RED ONE Camera System.  I feel very at home with this emerging photo and motion hybrid technology.  We have some great support gear here too, a steady cam rig, an RC Helicopter, and a serious post-production set up.  I took the below photo with a Canon G9, I’ve haven’t owned a point and shoot until recently – and I love it.

Flowers + Fire

Filed under: motion — ryan enn hughes @ 8:06 pm

Just finished shooting another short motion project.  We were in the studio today torching flowers with aerosol cans and lighters – lots of fun.  Definitely not to be tried at home.  We had numerous safety precautions in effect.  Three fire extinguishers, and a trained fire specialist on set – so again, not to be tried at home.  A big thanks goes out to the whole production team; Arash Moallemi, Jessamyn Horsman, Yim Hung Kung, Darrell Faria, and Mike McMillan.

Large Format Photography

Filed under: photography — ryan enn hughes @ 2:17 pm

Spent the day in the studio today doing some macro large format photography.  My background is in motion pictures, so this was my first experience with large format emulsion – something I’ve been wanting to work with for awhile.  Thanks goes out to Photographer Arash Moallemi, who helped introduce me to all the gear – its definitely a different experience in image making.  I found it dramatically slowed down the image making process, I thought more about what I was doing.  Over the course of the day I shot only 10 frames.  Very opposite to DSLR shooting.
