Down and dirty poster of Cleopatra + headshot of course :D

June 19, 2013 Filed in Actors Headshot,Headshot,portfolio aktorskie,Portrait,Portret kobiecy

Hi there all good people!

Today, I am bringing you a quick composite image and a headshot of course, of a young generation actress www.ulazawadzka.com

I used to work with Ula previously, but when I photographed her boyfriend Darek Wieteska, also a very talented actor, she had an idea of being photographed as Cleaopatra. And so we did…
I am always amazed, by the fact, how well prepared she is for the shoot, how many ideas she has and how well all the pieces fit together.

So, to make a long story short, there are 2 images here:
1. A quick composite of image of Darek and Ula and couple of textures of smoke. All I did is, placing smoke several time into the image, change the blend mode of placed layers into ‘Screen’ and than mask out a bit and tweek opacity.
THan I have added some text to create a poster look.

Total retouching time: 10min

2. A headshot of Cleopatra – this one is taken with beauty dish and only beauty dish. NO fills, no thrills to this shot.
Postprocessed in PS CS5 and Alien Skin Exposure for b&w conversion and there you ahve it!

Total retouching time: 20min

Hope you enjoy!
Ciao,
Maciej

Fastest headshot I have ever done!

June 18, 2013 Filed in Actors Headshot,General,Headshot,portfolio aktorskie,Portrait,Portret mężczyzny

Hi Guys!
Hope all is well!

This is just a quick Monday post, to share with you, a quick headshot session I had with Jacek. All in a rush and no time to explain etc… just shoot and go!

I took exactly 10 shots, first 2 to get correct exposure and remaining 8 to create an image… How about that for a speed… wow!

Bum, bang, clik, done… good bye…

A quick advice for all of the photogs out there – be ready, be steady, you never know when and where it will come from:)

Ciao!
Maciej

A quick sneak peak from a session with Anna

June 12, 2013 Filed in Actors Headshot,General,Headshot,portfolio aktorskie,Portrait,Portret kobiecy

Morning all good people!!!

This is just a teaser from one of the most recent photoshoots we did. This time I had a pleasure to host Anna.
We worked together already once in the past and it was already almost 3 years ago. This time I was lucky to agree with Anna that she will take a trip to my studio and we will shoot some headshot images.
We aimed to achieve looks that could be used by actors’ agencies or modeling agencies. Natural headshots/portraits.

I thought she would be an ideal fit for my latest ‘window light portraits’ trend and believe me I was’t wrong.

She was absolute star and I think we did create some extraordinary images for Anna.

I also need to mention, that my MUA/Hair Stylist for this shoot was Agnieszka Stenka and her work is stunning and what is mostly important for me – it is professional and done with passion. I really do enjoy working with Aga. Big shout out Aga and thank you!

Watch out for full coverage of this session, including some jumping hair springs!!! – yeah!

Have a great wednesday!
Ciao,
Maciej

Window light portraits continued… with Tom

June 11, 2013 Filed in General,Headshot,Portrait,Portret mężczyzny

Good morning to all!
Continuing my series of portraits with nothing more than a window light, here is another one.
I recently photographed my buddy’s family and took this shot while setting up all my gear.
Tom is my great friend and supporter of my photographic journey. He is an entrepreneur and IT professional.
He did a great job on this shot, giving me a genuine smile for a great capture! Thanks man!

Enjoy the rest of the week!
Cheers,
Maciej

Tomek - Maciej,
I am really impressed not only by your proffessional work and it’s great outcome ( thanks), but by the nice and friendly atmosphere you managed to create during the session, which was surely unusual situation at my home…
Thanks a lot! Keep going!
Tom

More natural light headshots – more great images for my Clients!

May 24, 2013 Filed in Actors Headshot,Headshot,Portret kobiecy

Its Friday Morning People!
Hope all is going well for you!

Yes, indeed, I was absolutely amazed, while trying to experiment even more with natural light with just a camera and paper background.
Really, nothing more… just this.
This is just a sneak peak of 2 most recent shoots I did with fantastic actress Kasia Baurska and one of my trust worthy models Marta.

I did try same setup, same light on both models and here are the results:
Oh, I forgot to tell, that more great images of Kasia and Marta are coming soon in separate posts, both with some small BTS videos, so that you can see how it all looks like while we are creating in the studio and extractng some beauty out of everyone!

Have a great weekend!
Ciao
Maciej
