Alright for all of you photo nerds, and people who think im just on vacation I am unveiling some of my work that I do on this ship! Ladies and gentlemen the never before seen work of Josh Laydon…. (Now scroll down and look) Pretty cool ehhh? Well let me explain to you what some of it is. We shoot portraiture every night the guests are on board, each night a n backdrop. We are always shooting the grand staircase though. There is no obligation for anyone to buy the images that we take, thus no sitting fee, its as simply as walking up and smiling for the camera, our job is to make everyone look much better than they do in real life. Hard work…. I know. Hahaha but here are some examples of what I have been shooting. I edited them just for here, but mostly we are shoot to sell, no edit time for the customers.
For some of the nerds out there we are using Bowens lights for the stairs. A simply three light set up, with umbrellas, and one hitting the background. The white backdrop is a four light set up using soft boxes. Volcain is a three light set up with a soft box and an umbrella with a snoot for the background. Pretty simple stuff, but we are shooting fast to move on to the next customer. We can shoot anywhere from fifteen groups to fifty groups getting close to eight hundred shots. It’s a face paced production mostly. Ready to purchase the next day.
So there it is, now you can see that I am not just on a vacation in the middle of Hawaii all the time sitting on the beach getting my tan on! I hope you all enjoyed seeing these images, and if it was not for you reading and looking at this right now I would be getting a nap, so appreciate ;)
