Eski-ology.™

Ok, so Eski-ology was just a silly name that I came up with because I don't really have a title in mind for this. But we were really excited to try out our new elinchrom studio equipment today, and Julian was saying we should use a prop or something to play with while we snap some pics. So I suggested this coat that I have that is a little furry, because I thought it will add a little bit of dramatics to the whole thing.

The pictorials turned out quite nice, and more importantly we were pleased with the ease of us getting fully comfortable with our equipment set-up. After all, that was the main purpose of the whole shoot. I also touched on quite a fair bit of light play, angles, proportions and subject orientation with Julian. It was all in all a pretty productive and fun afternoon.

Gotta thank Jules for taking this photo of me, he was the one who suggested the one eye thingy. I thought that was pretty cool! Of course I photographed a cool set for him in return, but will get down to them when I am free. I love some of the symmetry shots we were experimenting, especially the ones I took of him. Hopefully they will turn out even better after some touch up.

What we both found joy in was that we kinda have a mobile studio ready already. That the studio hardware will go a long way in expanding our range of services and skills. I am excited about the whole thing and Kenrick is going to do his research on buying us cheaper battery packs from Pakistan.

My Saturday is gonna end with a midnight show at Lido. Transformers, even though I am not like a fanatic, I thought I will just tag along with some buds for the thrill of it. Ryan is watching Transformers tonight as well, 10:50 pm his time. We talked about him buying his airline ticket, so I guess in flash, we will no longer just be voices on one end of the country to another.
