McLaren LookBook Shoot
In January I worked on the lighting for McLaren’s Team Collection 2011 shoot. I worked with photographer Claire Pepper.
This is a wide shot from one of two set ups we had. I was given two briefs to work from and a bunch of lighting references for each set. The idea was to take the style of sportswear photography then tone it down and give it a bit more of a fashion look book style.
So for the lighting we kept it even and soft and blended soft highlights. We didn’t want the grey background to be flat, so we had a slight gradient from darker grey to lighter grey at the bottom. I used a large Octa for the key light, a beauty dish to push more light in the face and two umbrellas either side to push in two soft highlights.
Here’s a link to a selection of the FINAL IMAGES
Also on the shoot were Jonathan Gales and Tim Bowditch who made a BEHIND THE SCENES video of the shoot.
