MARTIN PRIHODA Blog

Samuel M. — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 04:04:46 +0000

Martin Prihoda is an advertising and fashion photographer living and working in Mumbai.

I think I bumped his name on flickr and visited his blog. In his blog he writes about some of his recent works, some very high quality fashion shootouts. Some of his posts also has a “behind the scenes” images, which you can easily learn about lighting for models and fashion photographs. Take a minute and visit his blog, browse the posts and learn how the big ones do it.

A post that I really like on Martin’s blog is this one link . It covers some behind the scenes from on of Martin Fashion photogarphy sessions for May’s 2010 issue of Verve. Very nice and clean work and a good use of beauty dishes.

Connect your camera tripod to your umbrela

Samuel M. — Mon, 03 May 2010 19:49:42 +0000

This post is for you guys that needed for some reason another umbrella, but what the heck, you don’t have another studio tripod that you can attach a swivel head that will hold the your flash and umbrella. So you are stuck? You say there must be a solution for that? Get your camera tripod and use it as a flash&umbrella holder!!!Easy thing to do and all you need is 3 things:

Small swivel flash holder- you probably already have one and if not you must have one.

The camera tripod thing that holds the camera to the tripod.

The item you probably don’t have and that’s the time to get it is the 1/4″ and 3/8″ Female Threaded screw Adapter , so go on and get one, you’ll see that you might need it. Search on ebay or go to your local studio camera store.

There are two easy steps and I guess you already know what to do after you have those items, but what the heck here is what you need to do in some simple steps!

At the bottom of the swivel head flash holder you should place the screw adaptor.Make sure you leave the smaller diameter at the bottom side.Close tight the adaptor.

Now screw the quick release panel to the bottom side of the swivel head. and thats what you get.

All you have left to do is to attach the quick release panel to the tripod as if you connect a camera.Put the flash on the top of the swivel head and ad in the umbrella.

Start taking your photographs!

Photo effects with manual zooming your flash

Samuel M. — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 16:00:16 +0000

One of he options for controlling the size of your flash light beam is using a snoot or a grid.Both of those methods will be introduce to you in very simple DIY projects that will improve your photographic creativity very fast and easy.But there is another way to control the size of your flash beam and it is controlling the flash zoom manually.Here is a quick example to the change in the beam size as you change the zoom factor.The camera Canon 40D on the wide side of the Canon 17-55 IS (27mm film equivalent):

flash zoom 105mm

flash zoom 80mm

flash zoom 70mm

flash zoom 50mm

flash zoom 35mm

flash zoom 24mm

You can easly see how the flash cover changes as you change the zoom of the flash.

How to use it for your photography creativity?we’ll load some photos soon!

What this blog is about?

Samuel M. — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 05:31:44 +0000

After publishing my first good looking DIY project-the DIY 40cm*40cm SoftBox,it got a lot of buzz and comments in the forums where I show the DIY project.One forum that I like the most (fredmiranda.com) got my thread into some kind of an argue about whether you should use this diy project for professional work or not.

My opinion about the gear=photographers quality issue is that any service provider should be judged by his results and not by the equipment he/she owns,as simple as that!

But the purpose to many of my DIY projects (there will be much more to come,so stay tuned) is to experience your photography talent and improve it.It doesn’t matters what you photograph I’m sure as hell that the DIY SoftBox will improve your photo results if you only used your flash of camera with a small diffuser…

So go and do the DIY SoftBox and enjoy your results and test your talent.

I’ll be happy to see results of the photos you took.

For the fredmiranda post about the DIY SoftBox click here.

So what this blog is about?It is about getting some inspiration and ideas for better photography and photography methods.Plus you’ll your share of some of my simple DIY gadgets.

Enjoy !
