In the Studio

Brett Gilmour Photography recently completed a four-day photo shoot for Chariot Carriers that involved both in-studio shooting as well as location lifestyle photography in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

On studio day one, June 2, we set up a camera to capture our movement as we worked. By setting up a Nikon D300 with a timer that allowed us to shoot a picture every two and a half minutes, we created a series of images that were sewn together to create a moving image. The camera photographed the entire 9-hour day.

Following the shoot we imported the images into iMovie, where we created a Quicktime movie showcasing the set-up of the photo shoot and the shooting that took place that day.

Chariot Carriers, a Calgary-based company that produce and distribute child carriers, hired Brett to shoot their 2009 lifestyle and product catalogue. The shoot involved two and a half days of product photography in the studio and two days of lifestyle photography shot in parks and public spaces around the city.

Below is the time lapse that was created during the first day of studio shooting. We hope it gives you a glimpse into a day in the life of a studio photographer. Enjoy!
