OUR FIRST ASSIGNMENT
After winning the competition for the design of the poster, we discovered that we needed to finally put together all the parts you need as professional photographer.
A large format camera to set focus on the whole picture and the quality we needed. Built byus for 3 days in a hands maid store of metallurgical industry. The bellows that connects the film plane and the lens plane, piece of leather made by my mother at home. The lens: Schneider 240mm, resulting from the trade by the camera Linhof technika I buy to the photographer Tito (foto tito) in Bogota. The tripod was standing on a table and I on a seat at the same table. My head was against the ceiling of the room, and my back against the wall. was uncomfortable when I fell the black cloth that is used for focusing.
thanks to the improvised screws in the camera, we need repeated 4 times the picture, once can mount the chassis of the film, he lost all the settings of the uprights, and did not know the outcome until you see the development.
Lights: we pay initial fee to Fotomoriz (Broncolor dealers in Bogota) for our first set of lights. 3 lights of 200-watt Monolight heads / sec.
Study: rented room in a house, we had to empty every day for safety.
barely fit model (my wife), the products, the 3 lights on the set and me.
Susi makeup and hair stylist her own while I worked in the composition of the products. as we had no assistant, once I was on the table behind the camera and she posed sitting on the floor without moving any adjustment of lights or composition, took a long time, which added to the final, few days.
Then came the photomechanical work and printing with OPgraficas at Bogota.
The result was very successful and represent our start as photographers in the fashion world in Colombia

Luego de ganar en el concurso por el diseño del afiche, descubrimos que finalmente necesitábamos poner juntas todas las piezas que necesita un fotógrafo profesional.
Una camara de gran formato para lograr el enfoque en toda la foto y la calidad que necesitábamos. Construida por nosotros durante 3 días en un tayer de metalmecanica. El fuelle que conecta el plano de pelicula y lente, pieza de cuero fabricada por mi madre en casa. El lente: Schneider 240mm, resultado del cambalache por la camara Linhof technika que le compre al fotografo Tito (foto tito) en Bogota. El tripode estaba parado sobre una mesa y yo en un asiento en la misma mesa. Mi cabeza daba contra el techo de la habitacion, y mi espalda en la pared. era incomodo cuando se me caia el trapo negro que se usa para enfocar.
gracias a los tornillos improvisados de la camara, repetimos 4 veces la foto, por que al montar el chasis de la pelicula, perdia todos los ajustes de los montantes, y no sabiamos el resultado hasta ver el revelado.
Luces: dimos la cuota inicial en Fotomoriz (distribuidores de broncolor en bogota) para nuestro primer equipo de luces. 3 cabezas monolight de 200 wat/sec.
Estudio: La habitación rentada en una casa, que teniamos que desocupar cada dia por seguridad.
apenas cabiamos la modelo (mi esposa), los productos, las 3 luces del set y yo.
Susi se maquillo y peino ella misma, mientras yo trabajaba en la composición de los productos. como no teníamos asistente, una vez estaba yo encima de la mesa detrás de la cámara y ella sentada en el piso posando sin moverse, cualquier ajuste de luces o composición, tomaba mucho tiempo, lo cual sumo al final varios días.
Luego vino el trabajo de fotomecanica e impresion con OP gráficas en Bogota.
El resultado fue muy exitoso y represento nuestra entrada como fotografos al mercado de la moda en Colombia.
