Adam Sund Photo Blog Photography is the new black.

Working in Forum

Now three weeks ago, I've spend a total of 38 hours in Forum where I've photographed 319 individual covers for the participants of the Lifestyle convention for the danish magazine Femina.

I was hired by Girlsquad, who had a booth at the convention, so with a white backdrop, my beloved octabank mounted on my Triopo 600w, and some rimlight shaped by my big softbox on my Boling, I started shooting.

When I say 319 covers, I mean shooting from 1 to 5 people at a time, choosing the final image, open it in Photoshop and applying the graphics - a process that ended up taking 2 minutes in total. I was the bomb.

I shot in Lightroom 3, which was the easiest thing I've ever experienced. The tethered shot function worked without any low key engineering needed, and I was able to do some presets, so that the images came with higher contrast, increased vibrance etc. (I had no time to photoshop, so this solution was a fine one).

Check out the   Friday gallery for examples.

My good friend and colleague Bertil-Melhof Pedersen over at fragmenter.dk did some BTS shots of it all.
