Katia Cadet takes over Jamaica!

…well, Kingston, Jamaica, in the national stadium for Caribbean Fashion Week, at least. The Grammy-nominated artist gave a sneak-peak world-wide debut of the video single from her upcoming debut solo album, and took some time to pose with the new face of POLO, Ralph Lauren, Orraine Barrett. More to come on that. Production in Jamaica was as difficult as it gets, field testing the new 5D-MkII shoulder-mount, cam-brick-powered, matte-box-and-follow-focus driven cinema rig (with the sweet new Marshall 6.5″ hi-res field monitor as a viewfinder, to boot), last minute calls for still shoots, and the impromptu opportunity to capture a moment such as this. Katia Cadet headlined fashion week, which, considering the country is just off the brink of a civil war, is pretty unbelievable, and for a day or two, I felt like I was truly in the entourage.

Tami on Red

When rimlighting works… it really works. Model: Tami Zimmerman, who claims she’s never modeled before. I dispute that claim. Trial to be held in New York Supreme Court. I’ve been working on this for too long!!!

Using the excellent OnOne remote camera control app for the iPhone to trigger the camera; Once you're tethered to the computer, you've got full camera control (ISO, Exposure, Aperture, White Balance, plus live-view for framing and confirmation). Probably the most useful app for photographers. Now, someone has to figure our how to tether the iPhone to the DSLR (in my case the Canon 5D Mk II; there is a wireless kludge but it's rather expensive), so that you can pull JPEGs from the camera and upload straight from the field. That would be indispensable for photojournalists and anyone who needs instant posting (for clients, etc.).

I will shoot you. (But only if you ask me to).
