800m runner

Another shoot in sunny London.
On Monday I met up with 800m runner Robyn to do an edgy sports shoot at her local track. The weather was perfect and the sun helped the get the extra light in the background while she was lit by 3 flashguns to get the feel I wanted. The pictures then have been edited in Lightroom changing saturation, curves, colours, exposure and contrast.
Now I am thinking what I can do to even get more out of those shots... what do you think could be done

Have a great week

London Triathlon

Small update with some shots grom the weekend I took at the London Triathlon that took part in SE London. It was a last minute thing of me going there, got up early looked out the window and seeing the sun I thought lets go and take some shots.
Most the time I used the 70-200 lens to get closer to the action. I was expecting one big group to start at the same time rather than smaller groups ever 20-30 minutes but think due to logistics and safety they went for the smaller groups.

Anyway, here my favourite shots from the day, all edited in lightroom, changed contrast, exposure and saturation as well as playing with the curves.

Group shots

hey,

sorry, its been again a while but had some busy days and just didnt get into updating my blog.
last big shoot i did was with 3 guys, david, oliver and james at a great warehouse location that i used before.
the shots have been edited in lightroom (contrast, exposure and curves) and then david did a bit more editing on his side incl the page design of the shots.
some of the shots have been with a 3 light set up, 2 slightly behind them and one in front and some of the shots were taken with the help of some natural sun light playing with the shaddows.

now i have a few more busy days ahead of me... today shooting a small wedding to follow by a night at amika, tomorrow editing. monday depending on weather (and model) a sport/ running shoot, tue a location fashion shoot with a frensh model that is in london for 2 days only. then on thu there is a balloon flashmob in the city at 12:30 where i will take pictures (message me if you want more information about that) and then fri sat amika plus a wedding on saturday on top....
so hopefully i will be able to show you at least a few of the upcoming shots

Sandbanks Beach Polo

A long and busy week is now over... after I had a number of shoots last week I left on Thursday for Sandbanks to cover the polo event on Friday and Saturday. The party shots will be on the Amika facebook page soon, so here just a few shots of the actual sporting event as well as a number of shots from the British beach volleyball that is currently competing to get to be the first British beach volleyball team at the Olympic games.
Friday was still a more relaxing day, then Saturday started at 9am and I finished at 1am, then got up early to shoot an engagement party in North London all day Sunday and then on Monday morning I got picked up early for a shoot in Portsmouth where I spent the entire day and got back on Tuesday afternoon. So now its editing time... on the polo and volleyball shots I changed contrast, exposure and saturation. All shots were taken during the games besides the volleyball shots with the dark background wich were shot with one off camera flash.

Hope to hear some feedback

Black and white series

Hey,

so its been a while again, so today update with 2 new shoots...
Did 2 shoots with David at his warehouse loft last week, first was a solo shoot only using natural light coming through the windows on a very grey and rainy day and the 2nd shoot was together with Jemma, same location but with the use of one flash shot into umbrella to create some strong shaddows.
With both shoots I decided to shoot in black and white and David then did some design on the pages.

Besides those 2 shoots I had as well another shoot with Danny who I had in the last blog and then started yesterday with a sport glamour shoot which I will continue throughout the week with the images possibly published in various magazines (thus currently unable to show any of the shots just yet)
So the rest of the week will be more of the sexy sport themed shoots and then Thursday evening heading over to Sandbanks where I will cover the Polo event on Friday and Saturday for Amika London and OK! magazine and then on Sunday will be shooting an engagement party.

So next update will show some of the sport shots and from the polo.
Till then, have a nice week

Band photoshoot, actor shot and Salon Prive

Ok,

it has been  a while since the last post so now I have some catching up to do... so today some images of various shoots from the last few days.
First of, on Friday I did a shoot with actor and model Danny Parsons, idea was to get some more moody black and white shots. We had around 2 hours so we played around with various lighting, however one of my favourite set ups must have been the 2 light set up with light from behind and then some as well with a beauty dish above Danny. The image below is one of my favourite ones from the shoot and I think it works well in black and white.

Then the next then shoot was at Amika London with new Girl Band Monroe with the 3 girls Kelly, Katie and Katy and main makeup artist Nina. We had some great latex clothing and we wanted to have a more dominatrix feel to it. We shot at various spots in the club incl. in a cage. As some of the images will be used for a new online fashion magazine I can only show a teaser shot to show what kind of images you can expect at least from one location. On the specific setting below I had a softbox slightly behind the models as well as another light behind them to create more of a hot spot. An umbrella to my left gave the fill light on their faces.

Today then was a day out at Salon Prive, an exclusive car show at Syon Park sponsored by Amika. After a rainy start the sun finally came out and we had a chance to walk around and look at the cars. I found myself looking more at the details of the cars and doing close up shots rather than shots of the entire car. The 2 pictures below are of a blue Bugatti and the other one is an old Aston Martin. I actually think the rain added a nice look but I would like to hear your opinion as well.

mi phone travels

Hi

sorry for the long silence since my last blog... please accept my apologies.
So I am back in London after a week in Germany where I took photos of a wedding (and yes, I will post some of the pics soon for you to see) as well as some photos of a wine depot for their webpage... for all the beer drinkers under you, sorry, they only had wine, no beer

On my way back at the airport I saw some people reading the paper and thought that it would make a nice picture, so took my iphone and used the timer and tried to capture the view... once back in London and on the underground I was directly confronted with the same view again... people reading... so for the first 3 pictures here, a small series of people reading. Images were taken with the iphone and edited with one of my fav. apps, the mobile photoshop...
As for the last 2 images, I took them tonight, again on my way, this time traveling from Canary Wharf, here I loved the emptiness in the station that during peak times is absolute crowded.

Would like to hear your thoughts of the pictures and maybe if you got some travel snapshots post them on here or send them to my email info@mostphotography.com together with your name and if I get a number of different shots I will post them on here... So get out your mobile phone and  take some pictures, if on the road, bus, underground... Looking forward to see some great shots from you all....

Moritz
