It's NAB time again and whilst attending and talking at the show I am making a film for the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. An epic undertaking and in this video blog you will see 9 cameras going. Totally nuts!

You can see a couple of timelapses in here and some footage from the 1DC in video mode.

Check out my blog post for more as I will keep updating it for this and NAB including when I am talking! wp.me/s3ggTR-nab2013

In this hour-long live video session sponsored by Mamiya Leaf, Dutch photographer Frank Doorhof shows how he works with a studio setup. He explains his workflow as he creates stunning high contrast portraits in any location.

If you think your studio is too small, Frank shows you tricks that will make you maximize every location you work in (or will work in).

Frank's approach to teaching is according to his motto, "Why fake it, when you can create it". He strongly believes that if you master your light by really understanding what you're doing you can be freed of the burden that is holding back a lot of photographers in their creativity. When you understand what light is doing you can manipulate it and start thinking about creating killer images instead of struggling to get the look you’re after.

During the workshop Frank works with the Leaf Credo digital back and also shows you how this back has changed his approach in location shoots.

I had an opportunity to film and produce a Behind the Scenes video for Clifton Li Photography for a Martial Arts themed shoot. The whole idea of Martial Artists performing stances and moves with water comes from Clifton's childhood idolization of Hong Kong Martial Arts cinema and using water to highlight power and finesse of these artists.

Clifton collaborated with Team 2X to execute a series of ideas and shots. The next challenge is to provide the technical ability to freeze motion of the water, that's where Clifton's Broncolor Scoros came into play. Firing up to 3200w/s power and the ability to fire as fast as 1/8000th of a second, the Scoro system brings Clifton's ideas to life.

Check out the video and photos from the shoot.
