Photoshoot With Pro Event DJs

Matt Rothlein of Provocative Productions approached Pixel1080 to design his CD cover of his soon to be released CD project he has been working on for over 5 years. We decided to start the project with some photography. Do some amazing and different techniques and a few locations to get the creative juices flowing.

Our first location was at Kraft Azalea Garden in Winter Park at sunset. The technique is to "paint with light". Using our  Canon 5D M2 with a couple of wide angle lenses, 5-8 second exposures and high f-stop settings for maximum open shutter time.  We had some of our crew and Matt's crew run around the trees with flashlights waving their arms around while we did a dodge and burn with one of the lights on Matt as he stood very still. Here are a few shots of the outdoor garden session.

Second location was the alleyway between the Studios of Pixel1080, downtown Orlando (corner of Wall St. and Orange Ave).  Smoke machines, lasers and flashlights were used to achieve the effects.
With an occasional wandering street person in and out of some of the shots we pulled it off without too much attention and our improperly parked cars.
