Liesel has been working on a series of projects over the Summer in Japan and I was pleased to be asked to retouch from the raw files via her agency MINT Images. Each project is a sensitive and authentic visual short story of the workplaces she visited and together they tell a larger story of Kodawari. Liesels website is currently being redone but you can follow her projects here on facebook

Stills from Video, workshop summary notes

repro
Many thanks to those who attended my workshop this afternoon.

It was a bit of a whirlwind through the world of colour management and the process of grading images to sit well on the page or screen but I hope you found something of interest that you can incorporate into your workflow.

For your benefit (and those that could not make it) I have made some summary notes for you.

These don’t include the copyrighted material I was kindly allowed to use in the talk

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any queries or would like to work with me to improve your workflow or project.

You can download the notes here; https://copyrightimage.com/product/optimal-video-stills-workflow-guide/

 

The Rosetta Stone of cross media: Video, Stills and repro sizes in megapixels

300dpi
Very much looking forward to my talk at Wildscreen tomorrow on the subject of making repro quality stills from video grabs: http://sched.co/8IY9

Im please to say that for one day only I have obtained special permission to show stills work from the recently announced BBC Planet Earth II book.

Im aware that my session may be oversubscribed (cue cut scene with me alone in the room), if this is the case then not to worry, I will be making some notes available after the session on this website for you to read. These will be a distillation of some aspects of the talk and wont include the retouching examples so please do come if you would like to learn more.

In the meantime here is a taster of one of the less visual parts: https://www.copyrightimage.com/ImagingRosettaStone.pdf

Client Story: Laura Barwick, BBC

cover-jpg-rendition-460-707Congratulations are in order for Laura Barwicks latest book  “Animal Babies” which accompanies the BBC wildlife production of the same name.

Laura is always a pleasure to deal with and I was pleased to help out here by making sure the Video Frame Grabs (34 out of the 120 images) looked as good as possible and integrated fully with the stills photography in the book

You can buy animal babies at all good book shops

Wildscreen Workshop

logoI’m currently preparing some material for a short workshop at the Wildscreen Festival in Bristol on Friday next week.http://sched.co/8IY9

Roz Kidman Cox has kindly invited me to talk about the work I do to translate video grabs into something publishable and with the smoothest possible transition when placed on pages next to conventional photography.

If your planning to attend the workshop then please feel free to email me and let me know if you have anything you would like me to add, or just let me know who you are so I can best gauge what to fit in.

Many thanks
