Fun with Capture One

On Wednesday, Krista had a photo shoot and I was working as her digital tech. She also had a hair stylist, make-up artist, and a wardrobe stylist to help her get the model ready for the shoot. Because there was going to be a limited amount of time that the model was going to be able to stay, two different backgrounds setup at one time for this shoot. This made changing out backgrounds a snap. There were three different shots that required wardrobe, make-up, and background changes. With two backgrounds up, we only had to worry about changing one. Also during this shoot, I got to play with some new software. Normally I would use Canon’s capture software and have Adobe Lightroom import the images. This process was slow to setup and took a long time before you can see anything on the screen. This time I used Capture One. It was pretty much plug-in play. The images loaded very fast, about a second or less. This gave Krista almost instant feedback on how her images looked. She also like that she could hear the excited from everyone right after she took the shot. This was an amazing shot to work on and I can’t wait for the next one.

During the setup, I shot a couple pictures of Krista.
