Shooting as a Duo

 

I’ve always enjoyed shooting with Mike. We’ve known each other for 8 years now. Like every relationship, we’ve had our share of ups & downs. (there was a brief period where we weren’t on speaking terms because of a botched assignment both of us were working on) During then, he went to assist a well known commercial photographer while i went off shooting reportage. Since then i’ve went through various changes career wise & Mike…. Mike? He’s still Mike. With him, things are always going to be the same, and why not? 

Out-takes: 

“Two heads are better than one”. So while you’re busy engaging your subject, you have another dialing in the numbers on the strobes, moving props around, liaising with the art director. its tough to do this all on your own. Sadly, there are still instances when you just have to make do. But that’s a story for another day.

Selects

Never say Never

Dug these out from the archives a few months back.

For those who aren’t aware, there can be 2 ways of going about doing an editorial shoot. The expensive way entails coughing up model’s fees, location rental, equipment & lights rental and hiring of a producer / art director. And then, there is the DIY, rough it up, anything goes route. The one where you skimp on location by shooting in an abandoned colonial house awaiting demolition, hit on some old contacts to see if you can get help with models and makeup.

When i’ve made the decision going back to school, i knew that things may get a little dicey with cash flow. But with good friends, things are always going to be possible. 

 

I like this one best, although its the least polished of the selects.
