this feels like a being an assistant to a senior photographer. perfect 😌thanks!!
You’ve nailed it! That is exactly the concept I had in mind when I made the film.
@@authenticfilms7 We are looking forward for new videos then!
@@technicalstandardsofkingdo4474 glad to hear that.
I have a new one I'm finishing off at the moment that I'll load soon. Cheers
Love it! the BTS…Thx 4 taking the time putting this together w all involved. Thankyou 😊❤
Thanks for your comment, we’re stoked that you appreciated it. Cheers
I'm such an introvert that I wouldn't be able to even stand next to you to learn. Thank you for taking the time to share your process. I learned alot
I'm glad to hear that you learned from the video that's awesome but just to clarify it's not my process it's Derek Henderson's process he was kind enough to let me film it and share it.
thank you for this master class
You’re welcome 😉
Wonderful video - really enjoyed how Mr Henderson described the whole thing and his photo is fabulous.
Thanks for your lovely comment, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Very interesting real life informations. It's motivating to shoot portrait photos. Thank you.
These are great films, I always learn something. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment. I'm delighted to hear that you learned something from the film, that is what they are designed for.🙂
Great picture! And thanks for this "how we got the shot" video.
Cheers Thierry I appreciate that
Great film! Really enjoyed seeing the whole process with Derek's narration. Lovely photos of the model and the Prime Minster's shot is beautiful. Thanks for this. I love the other video too of Derek photographing his daughter. Very beautiful and natural images. Gotta love the look of film..
Thanks Findlay, I'm delighted to hear that you've come back to the channel and enjoyed what you've found. I made this film because of the comments on the other Derek Video you mentioned. It seemed alot of people wanted technical details so I thought I'd make one that's very technical and here it is. If anyone is reading this and wants to see the film Findlay is referring to it's called Derek Henderson shoots portraits for ZARA
Great Video, thanks for showing how you work 💪🏼
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for taking the time to shoot this and re-create the shot. Watching your inspirational video has saved my Octa from going on Ebay today.
😂 glad we saved the Octa. Cheers James that’s a great comment
Behind the scenes, very useful ☘️thank you 🎈
Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful 😊
Excellent video!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Lovely.
Excellent video, thank you! Such perfect photos from a one-light set up. Would like to see some where the background is under exposed and the strobe light key for more impact and drama.
Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I'm a bit like you I like to turn everything up and see how far we can take it but I guess that kind of drama might be a bit more RollingStone magazine than American VOGUE lifestyle.
Great Video!!
Thanks Martin, much appreciated comment
This was an awesome video! Much respect ✊🏿 from Angola!
Thank you 🙌 respect from Australia
Molto bello! Grazie! Saluti dall' Italia!
Thank you, I went to Italy once to photograph a wedding and loved it. I’ll be back . Cheers from Australia
@@authenticfilms7 ❤
So many variables before an image gets captured
Thanks for sharing, very interesting. The PM-Portrait is fantastic.
And by the way: I was waiting for the scene „Chad goes Kite-Surfing”.
😂
nice
Thanks
Not really sure why they're using a boom. The Octa could just sit on top of the stand and move the stand a little closer and make the rig safer and less complicated. Also always have a mafer clamp and j-hook in your kit so you can attach the pack the stand giving you an additional sandbag effect and also keeping the electronics off the ground where it may get wet. (talent shouldn't be responsible for holding down your gear). You can really see the impact of editorial budgets. Granted, we can hope that during the actual PM shoot they had proper support but here you see an assistant that doesn't know what a "speed ring" is and you're shooting in a high-wind environment next to crashing waves and you only have one assistant? Poor guy can barely keep the fly swatter from flying off. We can hope they just have good insurance.
It's kind of boring and annoying to have to do this and i really don't want to get into it with a nameless faceless person online but I feel that I have to because your wrong on lots of points and i don't want anyone to be misled by your mistaken opinions. So I'll go through them one by one from the top.
The boom statement...where to begin. Booms offer lots of advantages over having the light fixed to the top of the stand I can't be bothered to list them all because this reply would be too long but your main concern seems to be safety so lets tackle that. As you can see the ground is uneven so we wanted to place the model where Derek wanted her to be for the composition and then find a flat spot away from those "crashing waves" to place the stand which we did. The boom gave us the ability to then place the light exactly where it needed to be and if Derek decided to move the model he could move the light without having to pick up the whole stand and pack to do so.
Ok next hanging the pack from the stand, you could do that it's a good idea, I've seen it done, it seems like an unnecessary step but I'll give you that one in the name of safety but we didn't and it worked fine it wasn't wet where the pack was, so all good.
Next talent holding the light, that's wrong we had two assistants they are listed in credits, maybe you didn't watch that far or just presumed because the assistant looked like a model she was one? but no two assistants on this.
Next budgets your right they have gone down but we had no budget for this we all did it for free, we just did it because we thought it was a cool idea.
Next the assistant doesn't know the name "speed ring" got me again, neither do I or did Derek and we've both been doing this for 20 plus years, we all know how to set one up as did the first assistant Chad when he showed in the film how to set it up. It's one of those, need to know things you know? You can know what it is and how to set it up without knowing the name of it. It doesn't really matter but you used the fact he didn't know the name to imply that he doesn't know what he is doing and that we put him in a perilous situation holding the "fly swater,' because of his lack of knowledge which is laughable. Chad is a big strong Rugby playing New Zealander who just got on with it and successfully wrested the fly swater for 15 minutes safely and has returned to his life as a successfull freelance photographer completely unscathed by the experience. Is that it?
Oh insurance, we have public liability and the gear is rented so that has insurance added on top of the Bill automatically. No one was hurt in the making of this shoot but thanks for your concern.
Too much photoshop on the Prime Minister. Looks like an AI image from mid journey.
I don’t agree but I guess you can’t win ‘em all
@@authenticfilms7show us the psd tiff c1 file to know if you actually retouched it well.
yo Chad, the metal ring is called a speed ring
😆 thanks for that
