The Story behind the shot – the production series part 1 (Intro)

5 August 2015

hello folks,

I have always been fascinated by the behind the scenes documentaries and reports.

I love to have a glimpse behind the curtains of big and small productions, trying to grasp hints and wherever possible contacts and referrals for my own productions.

 

a small room turned into a portable studio set.

Today I want to begin sharing my own production struggles and successes,  will go through the planning of a new shoot from the very first steps (inspiration, ideas), down tithe search for props, sets, models, costumes to finally finish with the shoot itself.

It’s going to be a story in several episodes, hope you stay with me as I walk you through it.

Coming up next:

Frankfurt Airport shooting with Andrzej

16 August 2013

Hi there, Image

following the successful sunset shooting experience me and Andrzej decided to give it a try with a different topic: shooting airplanes landing at Frankfurt am Main airport.

So we packed all our stuff and on Monday we went, straight after work, to shoot close to the landing lanes. Not an ideal position though, planes were passing straight above our heads (by the way an amazing experience watching those beasts flying few meters above your hairs…) but we didn’t have a perspective (nor a lens long enough) to catch the moment of the landing.

We shot a couple of hours there anyway and then moved just around the corner where a memorial monument was built for Allied air forces who fought and died during the second world war.

There are two airplanes of that period and we shot, probably, the most interesting shots there.

Want to see more?

Than go to My Works > Travel > FFM Airport.

Then why don’t you go and have a look at Andrzej’s gallery and post?

Stay tuned,

Roberto

Photowalk in Frankfurt with Andrzej

15 August 2013

It’s been a great pleasure and a rewarding experience to go out and shoot Frankfurt skyline at sunset!rpphoto-1600px-20130811-7
On Sunday the 13th August we went out with Andrzej Olchawa (http://photography.andrzejolchawa.com/esoc-photoclub-ffm-skyline-2/) heading to Frankfurt am Main to shoot some nice landscape of the skyline at sunset.
We picked up a place on a railway bridge on the Main river and waited for the sun to set, grabbing some interesting skyline silhouette shots.

Then we moved back to the car and shot some other night skyline from the Floßerbrücke bridge.

You can find selected shots at the Frankfurt am Main sunset page in the Travel section (Click here to see the gallery).

Here below the two maps:
