ethereal photography - outdoor fantasy photoshoot

This video follows photographer Phil Jones as he creates fantasy style images in a beautiful natural location with model Sasha. Watch him produce 3 different themed images using different photography techniques and putting himself in very difficult but amazing shooting conditions. Hi! My name is Phil Jones and I’m a commercial photographer specialising in people & lifestyle photography. I work with businesses and organisations creating images for advertising and marketing. I also love creating fantasy art photography and storytelling through images. For a long time I have wanted to create a series of ethereal images inspired by Lord of the Rings and set amongst breathtaking scenery. In June 2014 I loaded up my car, and along with model Sasha Wright and behind the scenes videographer and my assistant for the day Emma White and we began our big adventure to a location 180 miles away in South Yorkshire. I remember we were all very excited as we made our way down the path towards the brook despite our 6:30am start and 180 mile trip to Wyming Brook in South Yorkshire. Carrying the props and camera equipment we could hear the sound of rushing water in the distance. This also made talking to each other during the shoot difficult at times as the water was so loud but such an amazing location to shoot at. When it came to styling we were kindly lent a dress from Frances Mahon which had the perfect look for my first theme which was inspired by ‘Galadriel’ played by Cate Blanchett in Lord of the Rings. This was also one of my first shoots with my then, new camera, a Canon 5D mkIII, fitted with a 24-105mm f4 L series lens. I also took my classic 5d mkI which I fitted my 70-200mm f2.8 lens For the lighting I used a Canon 580EX Speedlite which I used both on and off the camera. When shooting off-camera I used a Bowens Pulsar transmitter to fire the flash which is great when working outdoors in daylight. Emma is a genius with a reflector which she used to bounce silver light onto Sasha. For some shots I also used my Manfrotto tripod which is such a sturdy tripod and great when shooting at slow shutter speeds. The second look or theme was an Elvish queen wearing light decorative body armour and hunting the land for food. The armour was supplied by Rachel Burnett who had hand-made the piece. I made the belts and headpiece and the skirt came from Primark. It was great fun shooting in the water, finding low angles and trying my best not to drop my new camera in the water. From my first ideas I wanted to make the scenery a character in the story as it’s not everyday I get to work in a location as nice as this. Along with my props I also took along a nice fresh trout, courtesy of Tesco. Although it wasn’t Sasha’s favourite prop she’d ever worked with we certainly got the shot I imagined! The final look we created was a Woodland Elf who moved effortlessly through her natural environment. As you will see, we didn’t exactly move effortlessly but who would know when you’re looking at the final images. Although it was now early evening, it was still quite light as it was the middle of June, so to create the feeling of dusk I retouched the images in Photoshop and created custom filters using Nik Software. It just leaves me to say thank you so much to my friends Sasha and Emma who helped make the shoot possible and to you for watching.
