This week's colours wooohoo! Fresh colours for the week, modelled by the extra special Marie Dimopoulos from RMT Management ! It's been a while since we worked with Marie due to her busy schedule but finally the stars aligned and we got her back in to the studio! Our colours are Almond, Flamingo Pink and Deep Green - a versatile range for you to explore! We had a chance to play with the Smoke Ninja Pro Hazer Kit thanks to our friends at CR Kennedy (just down the road form the studio) - we can't wait to show off more of what this little ninja can do! It's such a perfect tool for creativity in the studio and we love it sooo much - keep an eye out for some videos coming soon! These were shot with the studio's continuous lighting gear.

How about these 3 colours for your next shoot this week?! We had an amazing time shooting this series of versatile looks in the Daylight Studio with our colours of the week - Ocean Blue, Scarlet and Cocoa. Our incredible model is Charli King from The Models - stunning and great fun to work with!

So how does this work? Well - each week (or so) we change our 3 backdrop colours in the Daylight Studio and include these in any Daylight Studio booking. We hope that by showcasing these colours in a demo shoot you will be inspired to plan a shoot that can generate maximum variety in one booking! We also enjoy the creative challenge ourselves - trying out different lighting each time to build versatility in our own work. This week we used a Lastolite Mega Umbrella (silver) as the key light (on a .lighting 300W RGB LED) with a couple of rim lights at the rear (Godox FL150R with a stripbox and grid), plus a Godox LC 500 light stick for pops of direct colour occasionally.

We usually shoot flash with our Profoto kit in the Pro Studio but for these shoots we have chosen to use continuous LED so that we can shoot video at the same time. It also changes up our 'standard' lighting practice to keep things fun. The Daylight Studio is $160 + GST for 2 hours :)

This week's colours of the week, currently set up in the daylight studio, are Canary Yellow, Apple Green and Tangerine. We had the beautiful Jess from come in to showcase the colours for this shoot and we had such a great time! As always, these colours are free with any Daylight Studio hire and they offer a lot of flexibility and creativity for your shoots. Changing the amount of light hitting the backdrop will give you a huge range of colour tones to play with. Thanks Jess for an amazing shoot!

Our colours of the week this week are Pink, Orchid and Thunder Grey. We worked with the incredible Elizabeth from The Models to explore this colour range - this week with hard light sources. We used a good ol' snoot with grid, and an Optical Spot with some simple gobos, plus RGB LED light sticks set to pink and light purple from Godox. Liz was so much fun and it was a really great collaboration to come up with the poses and styles. Shout out to her mum who pitched in and helped with not only wardrobe choices but with the overall energy and vibe. So fun! These colours are set up all week in the Daylight studio, free with any Daylight studio hire...

This week's backdrop colours of the week are Tequila Sunset Red, Spruce, and Olive Green - set up now in the Daylight Studio. These colours are showcased here by the beautiful Sofi Bevan who is represented by The Models. We had such a fun shoot using continuous LED lighting by Aputure and Godox - you can see some use of RGB lighting with the colour casts on both the background and Sofi's hair and face in some of these shots (we used the LC500R RGB Colour Light Stick for this effect) - we just love how nuanced the colours can become with a wash of RGB light over the top of the base colour. These colours are free to use with any Daylight studio hire this week!

Here are our 'Colours of the Week' in the Daylight studio, showcased by the amazing Ella from The Models . We have the natural tones of Oatmeal, the drama of Purple, and the always popular Pink. These gorgeous colours offer such great variety for a portrait shoot - entirely lit by LED continuous lighting by Godox and . We combined 5500K natural light with some fun RGB to create surprises in our colour. Ella was so cool to work with - really relaxed and fun with such great ideas. We love working with The Models for these colourful shoots! These colours are set up this week in the Daylight studio - imagine the fun you could have with these!

Presenting...this week's colours! We have Chestnut, Orchid and the always popular Scarlet set up in the Daylight Studio. We have showcased these colours with a fun shoot with the amazing Trinity Hunt from The Models. We set up our extra large 2m softbox on a 300W LED as a large fill, and a gridded Octabox as a short key from the rear, across from a stripbox rim on the opposite side. This shoot was done in a little over an hour exclusively with LED lights from Godox and Aputure. Trinity was brilliant - professional, versatile and willing to explore a range of ideas throughout the shoot.

Colours Of The Week! For the start of Spring we have Tangelo (for a promise of warmth to come), Baby Blue (for the colour of the skies we hope to see soon!) and Deep Green (for the colour of the luscious grass after all the rain lately). Our model is the fabulous Brice who came in for his headshots and was gracious enough to have a play in the Daylight studio with these colours after his official shoot! Brice is amazing to work with and we had a lot of fun practicing our French with him! These colours are set up for any daylight Studio hires this week...:)

We had a great time playing with cameras in the studio for our recent workshop exploring dance in the studio! The idea for this session was to take a camera that is known primarily as a street photographer’s go-to, but to take it into the studio and push it to capture challenging subject-matter in a demanding situation.

Our dancer .synnott was great to work with – very open to impromptu changes with constant ideas thrown in by participants throughout the shoot.

We were keen to explore the Fujifilm XT-5’s intelligent hybrid AF system with subject detection with a dancer in the studio, and assess the camera’s capability as a quick responder to action and face / eye detection for portrait and action work. We also had a go at using ‘continuous high’ for burst mode shooting with movement.

For this shoot we paired the Fuji with our lighting equipment, and played around with colour gels and our Optical Spot with gobos for some extra fun. Technically the Fuji was amazing to work with in the studio. When we tried the continuous high burst mode we had to increase our ISO to 800 to lower the power enough for the lights to cope with the high speed shooting. This did introduce some noise which is honestly barely noticeable, but we could have managed this by choosing to use higher-powered lights instead. The quality of the ISO 200 shots is unbelievable – extremely detailed with gorgeous colours and tones!

This was a great opportunity to play with Fujifilm’s range of crop-sensor cameras in the studio to get a feeling for taking them off the streets!

Thanks so much to Matt from for coming to Adelaide to share these beautiful cameras with us. We are looking forward to our next Fujifilm workshop working with the GFX in the studio under even more challenging conditions! Thanks also to all the participants – you all got involved and offered amazing suggestions as we worked together to explore dance, movement, composition, form and colour in the Pro Studio.

As part of our Colour Gel workshops we have been doing 1:1 colour gel sessions with local photographers in our Pro Studio. We had so much fun with Lindsay Rainey exploring colour gel setups using our lighting supplied by - and our favourite hand-painted backdrop by . Our beautiful colour gels by Jake Hicks and Lee Filters gave us so much range to choose from when selecting our colour palettes. Our INCREDIBLE model Ashlee was perfect and so effortless to work with. Lindsay is an amazing local photographer and it was great to collaborate with him to craft this shoot. Check out results from this shoot on our website (see link) - and check out Lindsay's amazing portfolio on his Instagram.
