Just Arrived....Scoro A2S

Last Wednesday, TYE STUDIOS, received more equipment to it's arsenal of BRONCOLOR lighting. To go with the flagship SCORO A4S, we now have it's little brother, the SCORO A2S. And not just one A2S, but TWO.
At 1600 Joules full power, or 1200 Joules on speed mode, the A2S can do everything the A4S can do, but FASTER (0.02 - 0.7s on speed mode) and LIGHTER for transport (20.3 lbs). Come to TYE Studios and put the SCORO A4S and A2S to the test. You won't find another power pack like it.

Not only is it rated the fastest power pack of it's class, also has a maximum control range of 10 f-stops over 3 individual channels. It is a pack like no other. With 3200 Joules of power and a wealth of customizable functions, what other pack would you need to do the job. Perhaps a battery version? =)

|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!!!
