Exclusive Brides 2013 photo shoot
This is the third time Rob has been asked to photograph for Exclusive Brides magazine, having previously taken the cover position with gowns by Chein Noir Dezines. Rob's photos appear in the 2010, 2011 and 2013 issues.
This year we did it at His Majesty's Theatre. Rob had never stepped foot inside the building before the day so everything was very much off the cuff.
The overcast sky outside reduced the amount of natural light coming in through the windows and with Rob wanting to keep the sensitivity of the camera tuned down for quality, most of the photographs were taken with shutter speeds between 1/2 and 1/8 of a second. Our model Sam did a fantastic job working with us in conditions like that.
The cameras used were;
2x Leica S2 (37.5 megapixel medium format SLR's)
30mm f/2.8
70mm f/2.5 (x2)
120mm f/2.5
180mm f/3.5
That's about $80k of camera. The extra camera body and some of the lenses were supplied to Rob for the shoot by the new Leica boutique at PRA Imaging on Newcastle st, where he bought his body and lenses.
Thank you Stellar Visions for great day yesterday. Love the video too. I think you just keep getting better and better. I am looking forward to next year, as I think this should be our yearly tradition. I am working on some new ideas already. Both of you need find another great location.
Best wishes,
Beata R.
