MONIN IMBIBE ADVERTISEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY LEEDS

18/08/2011
Amanda from the Neon Cactus in Leeds
Once we arrived in the town centre and located the bar it was time to set up, as the adverts are running in a series in trade magazine Imbibe the lighting set up was very similar to before, two speed lights and the LED light which lit the Monin bottle and cocktail. Amanda was our model and had produced two cocktails for the shoot, settings on the camera were 1/80th second @ F11 ISO 200. the flash guns were powered at 1/2 power on the left hand side to light Amanda and the right flash at 1/4 power just to throw some extra light on the background. Once the shoot was finished we grabbed some lunch, backed up the images and took a look around the town. After checking in to the Woodlands Hotel it was then time to go back in to town for some food and drinks, Las Iguanas was the stop for some South American food and drink, plus we then stopped off at the Neon Cactus to sample some cocktails. If you haven't visited Leeds then i wold definitely recommend it, a great shopping centre with some amazing architecture as well as friendly and helpful people. A good drive back the next morning, apart from the Dartford crossing, and a chance to catch up in some emails and editing once I arrived back home.
