hi

these are some of the images for the campaign in addition to the kaliedoscope concept they wanted some clean shots
it's great working with kids they are so unpredictable and fun.

i lit these with 1 beauty dish slightly off to the side, standard settings 1/250 f8 strobe set to 1/4 power, Profoto strobe





For Fred Bare Optical range

Great work there Wendell. I think i am fast running out of things to say to you about your work....

I do love the action that you have captured in these, was it a big studio?

[Wink]

I've never thought a single shot was even average, let alone bad.

Hi
I shot it at the fredbare warehouse if it were a studio it would be considered big
But in ratio I used 2 mdf baords for the backdrop and that's not considered a large backdrop
Anyway their kids you need a big space

Thankyou

The boy on in the last pic has got two heads!!

Lovely bright eye catching images.. they almost make me wish my kids were still young enough to wear their stuff..

I said almost!

Wendell, brilliant as always.

You are lucky to get sync at 250th with strobes. Are you shooting wireless or wired?
EDIt* Actually you may be getting smidgen of banding at the bottom?

[wendellt]

hi suren
the slight band is the light falloff from the beaty dish and grid
i'm using a profoto D4 battry pack here so at 1/250th the sync is correct

thankyou for your comments everyone

[Big V]

They will be more than happy with these - no controversy this year.

Great series Wendell.The 3 C's covered - Clean, Crisp and Colourful I'm sure your client will be well pleased with the results.
A small point Wendell (though i could be showing signs of OCD here ) but the tights on the girl in the first image seem ill fitting but again it has an attractive quirkiness that may be in keeping with the artistic direction of the campaign. If not I'm sure a little PS'ing could work.
cheers
