[PHOTO] - Miami Caliente Photoshoot

Today was a busy day here at TYE as mentioned previously. Photographer, ANDRE ROWE, photographed 18 models (I think) from the Miami Caliente Lingerie Football League for their web content and promotion for this coming season. Videographer, KEARY CUNNINGHAM, and assistant, JIMMY, did the video and behind the scenes coverage of the shoot. I hope to get a sample video of the shoot in the days/weeks to come.
Additionally, TELEMUNDO TV and COMCAST, were here doing video coverage and interviews with the team players/coaches as well. It was a long and tiring day, but thanks to the hard work by all those involved, the shoot was a success and we can't wait to see the finalized images. And 11 hours after the shoot/selection of images, we can finally close the doors and call it a night here at TYE Studios. More to come soon.

[PHOTO] Studio A - Completed

As promised, below is a pic of the newly renovated Studio A @ TYE Studios. The image was composed of several wide angle shots, therefore scale is hard to determine in the image. But trust me when I say this, THE TWO WALLS LOOK MASSIVE. You have to take a trip to the studio to see it for yourself. Hope it helps with those wide angle lenses, photographers like to use in the studio.
Anyhow, tomorrow's a big day for the studio. Two classes in the morning and a big shoot in the studio with in-house photographer/partner ANDRE ROWE. Will fill you in with the details as the day passes. Hope to get some video done of the shoot as well.

Coming Soon - Workshop Schedule

With the school season starting yesterday, TYE Studios has been working on a list of upcoming workshops and classes for photographers alike to improve their skills on their areas of interest. From advanced studio lighting to understanding the use of a light meter, TYE Studios Learning Center has everything and anything you might be looking for to further your career or hobby as a photographer.
Please check out our website for our upcoming classes and feel free to send us an email regarding workshops that might interest you.

Studio A - Re-Open for Business

Today TYE Studios is putting the final touches on the renovation project in our Studio A cycwalls. Both the white and black walls have been extended to our ceiling. The white cyc now offers "wide-angle" shooting capability with the extended 4 feet height, and the black cyc we added an additional 4 feet in length to the floor.
Studio A will be open for its first shoot this coming Saturday afternoon and will remain open until further notice. We will continue to make improvements in the larger studio in the coming weeks, but will not need any downtime as the changes will be additions with minimal construction, such as extension of our brick wall and a new addition of a graffiti wall for an "urban" look and additional shooting area.
We are excited to hear everyones comments on the new improvements and how they feel it will help on their shooting style and creativity. Please visit the studio for a tour on the new changes. I am sure you will like what you see.
Pics will be posted soon.

[VIDEO] Six Twenty Seven

Just a little behind the scenes from the lookbook of the SIX TWENTY SEVEN clothing line. The client flew in from New York and shot at TYE Studios for some product photography and then off to Fort Lauderdale Beach for their "fall/winter" lookbook. The images and theme for the book was a "cold" beach similar to L.A. winters. Moody, cloudy, and secluded.

STUDIO A - UPDATE

We are awaiting the completion of Studio A's "NEW LOOK" for 2009. The drywall has been placed, the electrical has been moved to the highest part of the wall, and painting of the white and black cyc-walls shall begin as early as tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully the painting process will only take a day or two the most.
Additionally, we also planned to strip the clear coat on the white cyc-wall and keep it just matte studio white paint. So for those who loved the reflective surface, will be disappointed on the new changes. However, for those (such as myself) who love flat paint throughout the cyc-wall, will be excited for its completion. It gives a clean appearance to the studio and personally, I just don't like gloss in most things (just my opinion).
Once the improvements are done, I hope to post new images of Studio A. Until then, keep checking back here for further updates.

Equipment Rental - List

We at TYE Studios have recently updated our equipment list for users to review. As most of you know, we are not only a professional photographic rental studio, but we are also a rental house for Profoto and Broncolor lighting, and professional photo grip and equipment. If interested, please email us at chez@tyestudios.com should you want an equipment list for you to view for possible future rental of any/all equipment in studio or on location.

Under Construction - STUDIO A

Beginning Thursday of this week (perhaps earlier), STUDIO A will be "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" for a minor upgrade to our White and Black Cyc Walls. We will be extending the height of our walls by another 4 feet, making it a total of 16' in height. We hope to re-open STUDIO A by the beginning of the following week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
NOTE: Studio B is still open for rental.

|PHOTO| Update - Film Photoshoot

It's been a week since doing my first film photoshoot of the year. Sad to say, I had a bit of trouble development my E-6 220 film. The first photo lab I had gone too, CHROMATEK IMAGING, had stopped processing E-6 film completely and can only process black and white, or C-41. That is saddening to hear that the reality of film is coming to a dead end for some photo labs. Luckily there is more than one lab close to the studio that still processes medium format film. So I decided to pick up my non-processed film from Chromatek, and take it to DALE LABS. I picked it back up on Tuesday, scanned the images on Thursday and had the opportunity to edit one of my favorites that same day.

The image is a bit soft due to my Epson V700 flatbed scanner and problems of the film curling due to the poor film holders, but the image itself is exactly what I was looking for, for this beauty editorial. 4 different looks with a splash of color. I hope to have it submitted to a magazine, with the possibility of it being published in the months to come. Below is a sample of one of the E-6 shots that I recently took.

Equipment used:

Camera . Mamiya RZ67 PRO II with 150 mm
Film . Kodak E100G 220 film
Lighting . (3) Profoto pro heads, (2) beauty dishes with grids, (1) zoom reflector with 10 degree grid, (2) cutters

Hope to get another film shoot done sometime this week. Wish me luck.

|PHOTOS| Urs Recher Workshop

We at TYE Studios would like to thank everyone who made it to Urs Recher's Workshop last Wednesday evening at the studio. The night was a success thanks to all those involved in putting it together. Urs' had provided a wealth of useful information ranging from the use of softboxes, the Para and HMI Lights to create movement and "emotion", and additional tricks such as grids and sequencing with long shutter speeds and "painting with light".
The evening overall was a day to remember. Thanks Urs and Broncolor for visiting TYE Studios.

|PHOTOS| Behind the Scenes

Just decided to add a few images|polaroids from today's shoot at TYE Studios (after hours). Today I will be shooting medium format film for the first time this year (along with some digital). It has been close to over a year since my last film shoot. I am looking to go back to shooting film to add to my creativity and further my understanding of lighting. Digital might be the majority medium for most photographers of today, but film will never die in the arms of artist such as myself. Long live film!!!
