Shooting in Milano


While in Milano for the holidays I agreed to photograph a couple of friends. Guenda and Barbara are terrific dancers and they found an amazing location. Barbara's partner shot a scene of a movie here. It's under a bridge of the "tangenziale", part of Milano's freeway system.


It was a lot of fun. Too bad I only had one strobe with me, but my luggage was already heavy enough.


You can see some more photos here along with a couple of shots of the location. Enjoy

Great! No kidding! The pictures of the
location are worth too: it looks like a
modern huge gotic cathedral, with those
gigantic columns. I love the one where
I can see below and above, and I feel part
of it (cat-eye?). Great use of the strobe!
It's so natural I thought it was dawn, and
they are gorgeous too! You really have an
excellent optics Paolo for these must have
been taken at 1/250 and are quite neat.
Awesome luminosity! Is that correct? Here
we say 'obiettivo luminoso'!

You are right, they were shot with a 35mm f/2 lens usually at 1/250 and f/4 or f/8. The strobe is a SB-800 unit remotely fired by the on camera flash that I also used as fill. Both were gelled with a full CTO to make the background more interesting. Thanks for your comment Erika

Ciao Barbara, non ti preoccupare, italiano va benissimo! Mi fa piacere che vi sono piaciute. Appena ho 5 minuti poi mando un CD a Guenda con i files originali. E' stato divertente. La prossima volta lo facciamo in LA!!
