After Dark Dallas Day 2

Posted by essie on Feb 29, 2012 in behind the scenes, Behind the Scenes | 0 comments

Day 2 was all shooting for Kevin. His bays didn’t start until aroun 8:30 so we watched around and got some video with some mentors and students and checked out some of the other mentors shooting.

We were walking around and caught the tail end of Brooke Shaden shooting. She had another mentor Lindsey Adler in the lake (cold!) Below is Kevin just hanging out with some other mentors and students and everyone huddled around to see what Brooke captured.

Before Kevin’s bay started I was watching a few other mentors speak. Below first is Don Chick talking the basics of lighting and how you can use just one large softbox and turn it into 4 lights. This guy is amazing with his lighting. He really knows his stuff! It’s pretty cool to watch how everyone else does it. Next is Laurent from Radio Poppers talk with people while (next) Damon Tucci is doing his thing in a bay.

Kevin’s first bay of the night was with Lindsey Adler and Chuck Arlund. It was a fashion based bay but in reality models were brought in and they had to shoot them regardless of what they were wearing. They got some pretty interesting outfits to photograph! 

Next Kevin did a bay with Brian DeMint. It was awesome! The bay was all about lighting with whatever you can find. Kevin first started off with using the light from the screen of his iPad. Then he moved on to little LED flashlights. Brian used his chicken warmers lights and just a round tube light he got a Lowes.

Things then got weird and for some reason Brian had to shoot Kevin and myself.

After all the bays were done the real starts at After Dark. Kevin got a model and did some really great body shots. Although it turned more into a portrait session and he was grabbing people to shoot them. They turned out really great, we will post them later.

Today is the third and final day of After Dark Dallas. I won’t lie I am a little more than excited to get home and see my kitty Zoe. I will post more images from today when we get home!
