The day I bought the TLR camera I ran through a film to see whether the camera focussed properly, fired flashes, had a true exposure and so on. Not having a model, I used the closest thing to hand...

Corset Under Troubled Bridge

TLR shot from the "First Corset Shoot" (and more here).

Bare Feet in Red, Green and Blue

Red gels, green and blue paint, studio flash-heads.

The setup was fairly straightforward, though the shininess of the wet paint was actually quite difficult to photograph without throwing too many harsh highlights:

  • snooted flash from 10 o'clock for "rim"
  • big shoot-through umbrella around 2 o'clock for "fill"
  • red-gelled flash pointing backwards to a white foam-core sheet for the background
  • wires, radio triggers and optical slaves for syncing the flashes to the camera
  • remote trigger and shooting in tethered mode

Laura and Chris

"That's a big camera you've got there. What does it do that my phone doesn't?"

"What? Besides taking good pictures?!"
