Hard Shoulder stills 1 - Diggs

Here are the first stills I've posted online from the set of Hard Shoulder, currently in production. There'll be plenty more to come over the next few days. Diggs is played by the excellent Jon Campling. (www.hardshoulderthemovie.com). www.davidtett.com

Riky Ash - Stuntman

Stuntman Riky Ash. He managed to hold this pose a good 10 seconds as I recall. I'm glad he knew what he was doing!

Info: Nikon D700 on tripod, f/8, 1/2 second exposure. With two softboxes far left and right against a black backdrop.

This is part of a series of stunt photos I'm currently getting involved in.

Street scenes, San Francisco

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

Big Issue - Tate Britain

Client: The Big Issue

Subject: Tate Britain Exhibition with street homeless.

Info: Here is the tearsheet from a recent shoot I did for the Big Issue: homeless people making their place among the galleries and portrait halls of the Tate Britain. This was part of an exhibition by artist Reza Aramesh, who spent many years photographing people on the street.
Not flash allowed inside the gallery so I had to rely on my fast primes, and work at 1600 ISO. No problem for the my d700 of course!

Time Out poker tournament

Client: Time Out London magazine
Subject: World Series Poker Tournament hosted by Betfair in London at the Empire Casino.

This was a really fun shoot for Time Out. Great outfits, really high stakes, top players. Loads of photo opps.

Business Awards Hammersmith

Client: Hammersmith and Fulham
Subject: 2009 Business Awards Film
Info: D700 with 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens at 200mm, shutter speed 1/8s aperture f/2.8 ISO 1600.

As well as the usual award photos I took this picture of a nominee watching a promo film , using only the light available from a cinema screen. Very steady hands required! The Vibration reduction on the lens obviously helped. I love pushing my camera gear to the limit and seeing what can be acheived. Close up the lack of noise in this image is remarkable.
