California
Digital Photographer
I
shot digital files with the 16 MegaPixel Phase
One P20 digital camera back. This digital camera back creates
a huge 96 megabyte 48-bit RGB file, suitable for two-page magazine
spreads, large posters or trade show signage. Some experts claim
that it's files are superior in quality to a 4" x 5" transparency
scan. For editorial style shoots, I also use a Canon digital SLR
system. Click to see a comparison
between the Phase One back and a 35 mm type digital SLR.
Almost
all of my clients request digital images, and even those requesting
film usually also want some of the work done digitally. I bring
a laptop to my shoots, and download the images for client approval on the spot. For shorter shoots, I sometimes burn CD ROMs
and hand the CD to my client at the end of the shoot so they
can
take the images with them.
What
this means to my clients is instant previews, the ability to
make immediate changes to what we are shooting, and the ability
to take high resolution, top quality images back to the office
with them at the end of the day. In
addition to shooting digitally, I also am excellent at Photoshop
retouching. I can make almost any required changes to your images,
such as take out unwanted wires, cars or people, change a background
color, or add flowers and grass to a front yard where there is
only mud.
All
of my full day shoots include one free hour of Photoshop color
correction and retouching upon request.

Shooting Digitally for Hollywood
The
image above was shot for a 40" x 28" Hollywood Movie Poster
for the film "Love Wrecked." It was shot at a Los Angeles
beach on a Thursday afternoon, the digital files were
at the advertising agency by 8:00 pm, three separate
images were combined to make the poster Thursday night,
and the final image was emailed to the client for approval
Friday,
the next
day. Only in a digital world! The
posters were printed over the weekend, and displayed
at the Cannes Film Festival
in
France the
following
week.
It
was shot with a Phase One H20 digital back, creating
48 megabyte
files.
The
client
for the
poster was Media 8 Entertainment, the production
company produced the Academy Award-winning film "Monster."
