OZZYKLEEN and Ken Paterson-ric woods photography

Ken Paterson from OZZY KLEEN commissioned us to shoot some images for his website. The brief was to provide a shot list and make up for the woman that was to be the talent. We ( Nu make up and Will was assisting) arrived at the venue which was one of the apartment Ken secured on the site of the old Royal Hospital site, great views,lots of glass and mirrors with off white carpet that not only offered good reflectance but begged to get all over my black clothes for those low angle shots.

We finalised the shot list whilst waiting for the talent. after several phone calls Ken found out that the talent was no where to be found. Non professional talent has is a bit like non professional photographers...you get what you pay for. Ken was sweating, he knew either he was the talent...or nothing was to be salvaged.

Ken provides cleaning franchises for those that are interested

Like a true trooper he was under Nu's make up brushes and into the frame.

The idea was to be generous with the negative space to allow "text over" images and to use just details like hands,equipment etc from some images.

Will is always on hand to give me a whibal colour balance

Smiling and not smiling,facing left facing right...cover all bases for the web designer.

The reflection would be cleaned up in post.

We all had a laugh as Ken had to squeeze into tiny cloves...he had to suffer for our art.

I hqad to shoot 2 strobes into a 60" umbrella to balance out the sun.Im glad I packed the studio strobes instead of the small off camera strobes..." A good big dog will ALWAYS beat a good little dog..
