We decided to shoot Polaroids for some of the up and coming people featured in the 2 part series of Charleston Scene magazine’s launch issue. Since part of the magic of the Polaroid is watching the image appear right in your hand, we thought it would fun to watch it in a stop motion video. Thanks to Nick Jenkins and his spectacular music skills we put this little bit together. Hope you enjoy, and you can see the final Polaroid images below…

For those of you interested, we rigged the Polaroid so that we could use our own flash. We taped off most of the Polaroid flash, but left some open so that it could trigger our other 2 larger strobes. We used an alien bee to light the curtain and give it a spotlight look, and then we used our white lightning to light the subject. We also pulled out our Jimi Hendrix poster that is bigger than life size to use as a large fill card…thank goodness for Jimi;) Hope you all enjoy, and can’t wait to see what else Charleston Scene has in store for the Lowcountry!
