The photo shooting took place in the Tor Crescenza Castle in Rome, in the night time. The preparation of the location and of the set involved two days of work.

The organization has been treated in detail. The staff of the photographer, including assistants who came especially from America and our photographic assistants arrived to 9 people.

We set up two mobile units with Magliner carts, powerful computers Apple Mac Pro and Cinema Display HD 23′ for processing the images. In addition, the photographer had beside him a third monitor where he can view images while was shooting .

We spent the first day studing the different views of the castle to define what would be the background for the images of the campaign the next evening.

The light set were quite complex, made up of 8 light points. The primary light was made up of two Briese flash lights with big silver umbrellas diffused with large diffusion gels. Then Profoto Pro7a flash lights on c-stands and giraffe (boom arm) lighted the model and the location.

We could not use the castle power main so we brought a van with electric motor generator to provide more than 35kw needed to power computers and flash lights.

The photos were taken with Canon 1D Mark III and Phase One P40+ Digital Back with Hasselblad H2 Camera. These are the most demanded digital cameras by photographers around the world. Speed, quality and reliability are the key words that lead to this choice.

The Hasselblad camera uses autofocus HC series lens and the Phase One P40 + 40Mp digital back is fast, ready to use and provides images of exceptional quality. Besides the Canon camera allow greater speed for moving shots.

In the end, the castle entrance was chosen as the final location of the photo set. In the hall we have set up different backlights, the atmosphere was rarefied with powerful smoke machines and lanterns of the drawbridge were replaced with flash lights. Two powerfull flashes diffused with Octa Umbrellas and plastic diffusion gels were used as main light and one of the assistants followed the photographer with another small octa held by hand.

We set up a gazebo that housed one of the digital stations at the end of the bridge. While the photographer was shooting, the pictures came to the computer via long cables and were immediately acquired and processed. The digital assistant viewing photos gave real-time indications to the other photo assistants and the photographer using walkie talkie.

We worked hard, made many changes to the program and also some unexpected happened too, but it was a real pleasure give a great contribution to the realization of this photo shooting!

A fashion set on small island logistically requires some supplementary organization and an optimized photographic equipment. So we put toghether the best portable photo equipment to move around everywhere easily.

In fact the island has very narrow streets and not all areas are accessible by car. If you want to work well and quickly you need to bring compact and easily transportable photographic equipment.

The Studio154 Production’s Assistants have setted up the photo set with battery powered flash light systems by Profoto:

– 2 Pro7b by 1200watt Profoto flash packs;
– 2 Profoto flash 1200watt strobes;

Profoto Pro7b flashes are the most requested professional battery flash system. They are small, easy to use and provide a 1200watt flash power that allowed the photographer to place them, when necessary, to a considerable distance from the model.
We didn’t need any power supply because they work with replaceable batteries. We were free to work without mains everywhere.

The photographer chose to shoot all the photos with the ultra-reliable Canon 5D Mark II. This digital cameras with a 22 Million Pixels sensor, is fast and versatile.

Andrew used Canon lens such as Canon 70-200mm f/2.8, Canon 28-80mm f/2.8-4 , Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.4.
