#PhotoLife Circa 2018: Back again with another “The Night Is Mine” photo, this capture was made possible thanks to the wonderful model and actress, Michelle Principi, as well as my assistant and great friend, Ayo. This capture is moreso true-to-form Light Science, than anything else. To the Photographers that know the “Paint with Light” technique, I did something like that, here. We strolled down to Times Square, camera facing north-uptown where there were some billboards in the background, and for this effect, I knew that speedlights wasn’t going to cut it. Not powerful enough. I brought out my Digibee 800, cranked it to full power, and modified it with a PLM 64 inch parabolic. The trick here was freezing Michelle with flash control at f16 so that I knew for certain that everything else would be dark except her, and setting the shutter speed to half a second so that lights from the environment could burn into the capture. Then I simply twisted the camera while the light burned in, and there you have it. The end result is a funkadelic drug trip. LOL! I see several fashion photographers do this a lot, and since that is the direction that I am going, it’s best to be able to have techniques in your pocket. I’m not faking it til I make it...but I’m not playing it safe, either. As before, pedestrians looked, and pointed, and said a few unsavory things, but it comes with the territory. It is what it is.
