Shooting at Garage Studios, with Louie Banks
December 18, 2008
I had spent a few days telling some of the people I know all about some photographer on flickr that I was really into. His work seemed to stand out from the rest, but he was only 17 and in the second year of an A-level at a local college. After a few emails I managed to get him to come down to the studio to do a shoot with us. If he brought the models (friends that he shoots anyway) we would supply a Make-Up artist, stylist, assistant and all the studio time, lights etc that he wanted. Our ace Lighting Assistant Natasha set up a clean lighting plan. Then me (DarkDaze) and him, Mr Louie Banks would take turns in shooting and see what came out of it. I tend to never shoot quickly, without a fixed brief, and I never shoot without knowing what the model will look like before she turns up, and Louie hadnt really used a studio much before, so it was a new experience for both of us.
He got some brilliant images (my choice picks below) and you can see some of the others here Louie’s Flickr and to be honest most of them completely burned what I shot (my excuse… I dont have an excuse…)
Here are some of his shots, all ©Louie Banks
So if you want to come and shoot with us, or book a lesson, some studio tuition, or if you are a college tutor and want to bring a class of students down then please get in touch. We have 3 in-house photographers with some very different styles and knowledge and we would be happy to help out. Our aim is to take some of the ‘mystery’ out of studio photography, so feel free to pick our brains, and if we dont know, well we have a lot of photographers that pass through, so somehow we can find out what you need. Give us a call, email or visit us in the studio in the centre of Brighton.
This is Louie on the last shot of the night, with all his models, shot by DarkDaze on a polaroid 340 land camera.
