Sean's Recent Shoot: Panos Galore

[Mark Elberson]

It's called a Baby Drop Down Pin. And yes, it makes mounting things on a boom much easier because you're not always fighting gravity with heavy modifiers. You can find a Matthews and an Avenger version at B&H (I bought the Matthews one).

Thanks!

I wouldn’t change it. It really goes with your Suburban Rapper Style.

Another Great shoot Sean. I like the effect of coming just a little bit closer in each of the 4 images. All of them look totally different. Nice work

After mulling over a few ideas for the next Suburban Rapper cover, I finally settled on one: a punk-ish looking girl with big headphones in front of a background made of CDs. Coincidentally enough, one of my recent subjects (Kristin) fit the bill perfectly. When I contacted her about my idea, she was all for it.

Ingredients for a cover shoot:

• Ridiculously large headphones from Amazon
• 75 blank CDs from Staples (used 56 cds)
• 32”x40” black foam board
• Low temp glue gun and glue sticks
• Hot, punkish model

Steps to creating the background:

1. Measure black foam board and find out it’s 32”x40”. Create 32”x40” blank template in Photoshop.
2. Research CD diameter (120mm, apparently). Convert measurements in Photoshop to millimeters.
3. Draw 120mm circle. Lay down guide lines for edges. Copy layer and move second circle next to first circle. Repeat.
4. Copy first row of 6 circles, offset by 60mm, and place below first row. Repeat.
5. After realizing I need 54 discs, exclaim “Thank goodness I bought the 75 pack!” Center 9 rows of 6 discs to template.
6. Convert Photoshop units back to inches. Get a rough estimate of how far in on each side I need to start the first row.
7. Preheat hot glue gun. Law down discs in pattern on board. Think to self, “Surprisingly enough, that looks just like the Photoshop drawing…that never happens!”
8. Carefully glue down the first row of discs. Once they’re in line, the rest fall right into place

Your latest set is fantastic, Sean! She seems like she would be alot of fun to photograph, she appears to be really relaxed and comfortable in front of a camera!
