Photoshoot in Bulgaria, Plovdiv Old Town / ブルガリアの街並みでポートレート撮影

Intro Photoshoot in Plovdiv Old Town

Finally after long time this winter I managed to go back to my home country Bulgaria and do some photoshoots there too! So here is the a BTS article of one of them, well probably one of my first shoots, taken at Plovdiv Old Town! I’m having info of the gear I have been using and some of the final shots in the end of the article! Also I am having a making video for the photoshoot, make sure you check it out and also subscribe to my YouTube channel! 

今日もメイキングビデオある写真アップしてますよ！しかし、初めて実家のブルガリアの街並みで撮影できたので、すごくうれしいです！この撮影のロケ地はプロブディヴという町の古い町並みで、すごくかっこいい建物があります！まだまだブルガリアシリーズの撮影あるので、近々アップしますね！

Gear

Camera for this shot is Canon 1Dx! And the lenses I’m using are Canon 24mm f/1.4 and Canon 135mm F/2! 

My strobes are   Nissin MG8000 and for the past few months I’ve been a hard Nissin user, since the MG8000 never overheats during photoshoot, no matter how much I shoot at high power settings, and believe me I do it a lot!

My triggers are Cactus V6, recently I switched to them from Pocket Wizard, and that was a great decision to make! Using them I can control the flash power of my manual flashes without the need to go and even touch them! 

Cactus 60×60 Softbox is a really cool modifier, I’ve been using as a main light quite a lot for my recent photoshoots! It’s very handy easy to setup, and has really beautiful light and also comes with a grid! I also use it just as a softbox when I’m outside! 

機材

カメラは Canon 1Dx です！このセットで使ってたレンズはCanon 24mm f/1.4 & Canon 135mm F/2, です！

ストロボはNissin MG8000 です！マシンガンストロボはパワーが必要なときにとても大事です！ストロボも結構フル発光で使うことが多いので、純正のストロボだったらオーバーヒートして、しばらく使えなくなることがあります！MG8000は一切暑くなることがないので、撮影に集中できます！

ラジオスレーブはCactus V6です！たった一つのどんなストロボでも、カメラについてるラジオスレーブで、すべてのストロボのパワーを調整できるトリガーです！もうすぐ日本でも発売します！

Cactus 60×60 Softboxはソフトボックスとして使うことがよくあります！非常に撤収が早くで、運びやすいので、ロケでは不可欠です！そして、グリッドもついてて光が綺麗です！

Final Results

Here are some of of the final images from that day, it was around daytime to sunset time in Plovdiv, and my model is Mariela Valkova!  

In the end

Now, I am preparing a series of new articles on some general topics, let me know which one of them you want to see first, so I get it ready earlier! Also other ideas are welcome too! Here are some of them: Portraits at night / Lens article (I guess 135/2) / Portraits in the rain / Use of gels / Using backlight / One light setups / Shoots with just one umbrella / General shooting portraits / Can cheap lenses make good photos / Swing the camera shots / Using snoots / Shaped bokeh / … or any other idea welcome, post it in the comments, and I will see if I am able to write about it! Also stay tuned for my new blog section starting soon called “Strobist Diary” There I will talk about many of my off-camera flash techniques from basic things to some advanced stuff!
