- Light with the feeling of light rather than the texture
- Speak with great detail with client and they will be more relaxed
- Go in calm, meet everyone, allow yourself enough time to be hydrated, relaxed and focused
- Uses scrim often to soften sunlight - this makes the sun like a giant soft-box and allows soft directional lighting
- When shooting tethered check everything in that photograph down to fingertips, not just face
- HMI?
- Car shot - composite - shot of model with correct lighting, waited until dusk, shot of car available light
- Focusing spot for beauty head shots
- Mainly 18-22 year old models in industry
- Inspiration for lighting: Jean Loup Sieff French photographer 60s. Moody black and whites, contrasty, provocative
- Editorial - no real client, at your cost, good for exposure. As the photographer you get in contact with magazines and ask for your work to get published as an editorial.
- When something is not working - improvise. Couldn't access beach location with cars so Aboud shot it, printed a backdrop for $400 at pixel perfect, used it as a backdrop in the studio and lit it how she wanted. Hair shots generally not on location because of wind. This way she got the best of both worlds
- Costs around $8000 to $12000 to shoot an editorial. Re-touchers generally charge $800-$1000 per 8-12 page editorial spread
