Andrea Belluso is an experienced photographer with more than three decades in the business. Every now and then, Andrea takes us behind the scenes of a recent shoot to share some of the knowledge he has gained over the years.
In this episode we get to join Andrea at The Palm in Dubai on sunny shoot for Cadillac cars. To match and even overpower the strong sunlight, Andrea uses Profoto flashes and Profoto Off-Camera Flashes. The light is controlled and shaped with softboxes and Hard Reflectors. And the result is stunning.

Respect to Andrea, this guy knows exactly how to work with hard light. Not just average photographer who talks about softboxes and beauty dishes in portraits.

This was amazing, I literally just bought my first light stand, so it's awesome to see what this can turn eventually build up to.

I have used Profoto at few events when younger. Great recycling time when taking photos of models. Thanks for showing on another video you can do billboards in train station with 20 mp camera. I always try to keep learning.

great shots, aside from the fashon shoot, good to see some car shots 🙂 and a great way to show how to light shiny objects outdoors, but did you get any lens flare?, esp. with the car pannels, it would be as bad as water or snow, would it not?, and how do you deal with it.

I did enjoy the video however, I'd prefer to see the straight results before post work. All the shots appear heavily processed which hides the lighting effect tosome degree.

@Djazaga 8 жыл бұрын

+Paul Hodgson Exactly bro ! totally agree.... since 1 year now i'm planning to buy the B4 and the D4 2400 and i still have a doubt really.... they are not allowed to lie with equipment cost more than 25,000$ overall with accessories.

@buckethead777 8 жыл бұрын

Couldn't agree more, we'd gain much more about what the lighting setups do with a straight-out-of-camera images.

I thought the photos looked desaturated. Whoever put the photos in the video put them as adobe rgb and didn’t transform them to srgb or didn’t do it correctly

@andrewsteen2151 9 жыл бұрын

Great work with posing and interaction with the models but I truly dont understand why one would choose this desaturated, HDR look for portraits. These are beautiful portraits, however with this editing style it's too grungy and overpowering.

@yoyoz333 9 жыл бұрын

Andrew Steen I prefer that look. It makes it more dramatic. They are lifestyle shots after all, so creating some drama seems necessary for story telling.

@AndreaBellusoOfficial 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comments. Although each picture is very personal in its interpretation and taste is also extremely personal, these are not portraits, they are advertising lifestyle/fashion commercial pictures and I preferred that look for this job, and so did the client ;-)
