Fashion shooting with RED and tubes

Let me know what you think

 

[Sabovic Adis]

Can't think right now, sorry.

Let me know what you think

I concur with Šabović (your comment was funny as hell). Sandeep, to make an accurate judgement you may have to post more samples. More of the 'red' kind and beyond.

I knew if someone was going to say something about the "Red" pic it was going to be Sabovic!

 

[Samir Patel]

Are these Astras or Quasar tubes?

 

[Nick Gardner]

What lenses are you shooting with? The tubes don't look bright enough to be destroying all contrast like that unless very vintage or very wide open.

Sandeep,


I realize that the colored look of these images are directly related to the color you chose the tubes to be for each image. However, I just wanted to see how these specific colored images would look "normalized". There is some banding and artifacts due these being regraded jpegs.

I think you should get some decent styling.
Shooting generic underwear clad models in this way is about as interesting as just about any cover of Photo Magazine from 1985.

 

[Karim D. Ghantous]

These look really nice! I like how they are not overly polished or retouched.

I know what you mean, but I have shared this serie in some Facebook/Reddit RED groups, but there were unfortunately too many discussions about some random technical details, which had nothing to do with the serie.... That's why I kept it short But I guess you're right.
Well I did a photoshooting experiment with the Scarlet-W. I used 3x 200W Walimex flash, 2 80W tubes and 1 250W LED for these pics. I used the test button of the flash trigger to activate all the flashes.

I once had a gaffer joke that a new rule was if you shoot with Quasar tubes, they had to be in the shot also.

Sandeep, Shots look great but could have been a little better with the editing.

I have some quasars on back order right now, this has re-lit my excitement to get them!
