New Work: FRIENDS
Posted by Dean Bradshaw | Filed under Lighting, People Photography, Portfolio
I’ve been working on a lot of new portfolio pieces lately. This shoot was especially fun. We had about 15 of my friends pass through the studio throughout the day and dressed them up in the most creative way possible. We got some great stuff out of it, here are just a few of the images from the day.
Cheers!

New Work: HEAT
Posted by Dean Bradshaw | Filed under Fashion Photography, Lighting, People Photography, Portfolio, concept photography
I’ve been shooting lots in the studio lately.
Here’s something we shot recently. This was mostly an excercise in lighting, pushing the boundaries of what I had tried before and then adding a little bit extra. I shot a whole series and this is only one of the standout frames. One of the issues shooting under such controlled lighting is that many of the frames only differ almost imperceptivly in facial expression and framing, so it’s often difficult to choose a favourite! We had tried this same shot with a fan from the right but I really like the simple symmetry so in the end decided against it.It is composed of about 5 lights – can you guess where they are?
I really enjoy the studio in that all the gear is within easy reach and I can throw as much light around as I want, shaping it with grids, octaboxes, beauty dishes and all manner of reflectors. However, I often feel it lacks atmosphere and a sense of place. In this shot I added a background element to provide some interest and depth to otherwise stark surroundings – the image being more conceptual than something based in reality.
I have a huge backlog of shoots to process, so stay tuned for more uploads throughout the next few weeks.
On White…

I spent this morning banging out some studio portraits of the full staff of Accountants and Financial Advisers who are based at an Accounting firm in Subiaco. Subi is a great place to work,a local suburb rich in high end professional consulting services and the height of Perth’s creative scene.
As the staff are involved in a very precise business, the height of professionalism, we wanted their portraits to reflect this. However, we also wanted each staff member to express their personality, making them appear more approachable – more human.
So, the brief was white, studio white…and lots of it.
More images and the rest of the brief, after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »
