About Me
Upbound Stills | In The Studio

What is Upbound Stills, Studio
Upbound Stills provides solutions for gathering clean client portraits or product photography using studio spaces. I focus on strong subject pieces.
What Does This Mean for My Commission?
You and I will coordinate on sessions spaces. Costs of rental will be held by the client, though in some circumstances, an even split between the photographer and the client may be arranged.
 
Tools Used for Implementation

Manual Digital SLR Camera

I primaryly use a Canon 600 for my stills work. My favored lens is my trusty 85mm prime, an old 35-135mm EF Zoom, and a 135 MM M42 Screw Mount. If needed, I’ll break out a Panasonic g7.

 

Manual Off Camera Strobe & Tiggers

It starts with THe Sun or the moon, but sometimes it needs help. That’s when my classic Yongnuo YN560-III Speedlite Flashes paired with their RF-603 C3-INT remote triggers come into play.

LED Soft Boxes

Sometimes you just need a steady light, and I keep it simple. I use a set of Lime Studio Portable softboxes with some basic high wattage LED Studio lights bulbs.

 

Studio Spaces & Improvisations

I coordinate with the client to lockdown appropriate indoor locations for shooting. I’ve rented spaces at Bellydance america but when in doubt, just show me to a white wall.

“Dark to light. Red, green and blue. Every moment
captured is a rendering of innumerable reflections of
radiating particles that end its journey as processed
by our imagination. What a world of color and shadow in which
we live; Wondrous. “
