Snapshots: Vipula Samarakoon




Name: Vipula Samarakoon
Type of photographer: Professional
Equipment: The majority of my professional work is digital, using a Canon EOS-1D Mark II and a range of lenses. Portable electronic lighting is provided via a Canon 580EX (with external powerpack) and a Canon 430EX, generally used with Gary Fong's Lightsphere PJ II. Studio lighting comprises a pair of Elinchrom D-Lite 4s with stands, umbrellas and soft-boxes. As a backup, I also have a Leica M7 (yes, that's a film camera!) with a Leica Summicron-M 75mm F2.0 ASPH lens.


At a catwalk show, try to capture the model during a full stride. This usually creates a more dynamic image as the arms are also extended. I framed this shot carefully to include the company name in the background.
Camera settings: ISO 500, 125mm, 1/800sec, F3.5
