Design Inspiration

Photographer Joey Shigeo

This advertising campaign has inspired my action/design images.

I want to do a series of 5 images including the action trick shot and a product shot of the footwear that attaches to each sport.

Each action shot will be shot with my 20-700mm lens similar lighting.

Each Footwear shot will be shot in the studio with very even lighting very similar to the images above.

I am still undecided if I will use a white background or black but i will shot both just incase.

I want the footwear to looks are old and worn as possible

I am also going to have each athlete sign their name, then ill scan it in and use it on each of their shots.

Eadweard Muybridge

Eadweard Muybridge one of the true masters in photography.

Muybridge become internationally famous for photographing hight speed sequences of human and animal movement. Muybridge used his photography to prove that a horse jumped while in a gallop.

My strobe sequences reference this amazing photographer showing movement of the body in high speed.

I think what he has done here is put lights inside the ramp and they have shown up in the gaps

This is why Dan is still my favourite photographer

I am speechless on how amazing Thomas Stockli's work is. He has found a way to make extreme sports photography into fine art. Amazing heavy black and black and whites images so simple with amazing textures.

Josh Letchworth

Every now and then I stumble across a photographer that really has a unique style and can make an extreme sport photography look amazing using their technique consistently.

Josh Letchwork is one of those photographers, he usually shoots water skateboarding ( WakeBoarding without being strapped in). He ends to uses alot of speedlites to light his subject as most extreme sports photographers do.
