Sheet Shoot
In this shoot, Anne found an inspiration photo that looked like it was taken outside with a sheet on a washing line and gave Peter the challenge of recreating this in the studio. He set up some lights to give the effect of sunshine and then had to post Anne quite specifically so that the sheet would blow in a certain way.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experimenting, tough to recreate but so well done to Anne and you
Its always good to see you work with Anne. She has such cool ideas that you can make work so well. The edits are incredible and certainly tells the story required
I really dig the hit or miss style of this. I like the aspect of no one shot can be repeated.
Question: What *is* that sheet? It’s huge. I have no idea where I would even begin to look for something that size or its semi-sheer transparency.
Thanks heaps, Chris glad you enjoyed it. It was a cheap crappy backdrop I bought years and years ago that was useless as a backdrop but I kept it as a prop
I’ve only just watched this for the first time, Peter, awesome that you “complain” this is what Anne makes you do, Anne has told me some of the back stories.
Very cool to watch 2 professionals who enjoy each other’s company, make their magic. don’t forget to post a few of the images for us all to enjoy. cheers Ian
Thanks so much Ian, glad you enjoyed it. Theres a link in the description that takes you to a blog post with the final images
Enjoyed the sheet shoot. Imagining myself doing this shoot, I anticipate my Sony autofocus grabbing parts of the sheet, because it has texture, and losing the model – especially when her face or eyes are hidden. Tips?
I use manual focus for problems shoots like that but if you find manual focusing too hard I suggest you go to back button focusing on the Sony and set your focus.rather than using continuous eye focus.
Hi Peter, I love so much this style, where each frame is totally different with no way to do again the same.
As we met last year in Paris you told me that you don’t like Phocus film grain, so I guess you dropped the test Phocus film grain before going to shot and applied you own grain layer in Photoshop ?
Has your Delta grain pattern 24×36 or MF size ?
Its based on medium format size
