Milla Jovocich for Anne TaylorPeter Lindbergh Photographs Milla Jovovich at S1

Celebrity Milla Jovovich is the face in Ann Taylor's spring/summer 2010 campaign. Jovovich was photographed by legendary fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh at S1 and he had great things to say about his trip to Toronto.
S1 provided a full array of services from studios, capture equipment, grip, lighting including HMI's, sets and production.  Look for the upcoming ads in magazines such as Vogue, in March 2010.

In the meantime, see an interview with Milla as well as behind the scenes footage shot by the charming Milla Jovovich herself! Watch it on S1 TV.

Jeff Brown at FTP Creative - Illustrates the Salt Flats

The Dunhill 'Pure' Cologne ad to the right was originally shot at the Bonneville salt flats in Utah at the same time as the TV commercial.

However, time on the salt was cut short due to bad weather.
It was decided a re-shoot was needed, but there wasn't enough money to go back with a full crew to the salt flats. After booking the same model and a car studio, Jeff Brown of FTP Creative was asked to go to the shoot to do some on set consulting and afterwards the retouching.

The problem was how to make it look like the Bonneville salt flats. Jeff was able to mock up the image as it was being shot and illustrated the salt flats background in Photoshop for the final. The shoot went without a hitch, the client left in high spirits, and as you can see, the ad worked out well. See more of Jeff Browns work at FTP Creative Imaging now at S1 Toronto.

Client: Dunhill
Agency: Parlour Wood UK
Art directors: Stuart Ryan & Hedley Dindoyal

S1 prints Custom Portfolio for Justin Fabian

Justin Fabian PhotographerJustin's thoughts on S1 print services:
I wanted my portfolio of panoramic landscapes to stand out when presenting to galleries, fine art collectors and commercial clients.  This required that I have high quality, custom prints and with the help of S1 Print, I have more than achieved this.   
 
With the S1 Print exhibition consulting and their colour controlled viewing booth/calibrated graphic displays, I had complete control over the nuances and refinement of my prints. The FTP service was an added bonus and provided significant time savings.  I could upload all my files from home and test prints were ready to review when I arrived.
 
The 24 portfolio images from both the fine art colour and K7 black and white systems look incredible and will definitely be used again for my upcoming exhibition in the fall.

Experience the service Justin Fabian received - find out more at S1 print.

New in Rentals- Mola Setti w/ Matte Silver Reflector

A few months ago we had the prototype Mola Euro and Setti with the new silver reflectors available to test drive.
We had such a good response that we have added the Mola Setti with the Matt Silver Ag surface to our rental department.

The Setti has the most contrast of all the standard white reflector Mola's, and the Matte silver surface gives it just a bit more, which is in keeping with current lighting styles.
Come in and try it out.
