CHAPPEL THE ..... well the half of earhart chappel photography
Since i am venturing out this summer , i thought i would go through the images here on ec. to find the ones i photographed. to show me as a woman photographer.
I have always considered all of the photos on ec to be collaborative. but in the below cases, i shot, styled alone, just with me and the models. the collaborative part of the pics is that e and i were sharing resources re lights ,backdrops, and studio space.
just on the ones below.
there are other pieces of mine here on ec that are mine, that i shot some on scouting with e, some in costa rica, some in central america, and some in the caribbean.
I am proud of the work i have produced alone and with earhart.

TRYING OUT METHODS IN PHOTOGRAPHY FOR EFFECTS DURING SHOOTING
Earhart Chappe...
c’est moi

Phineous Cas...
love the bottom 3 images best all high quality stuff though all
excellent
Earhart Chappe... replied
my junk cass. when i have no one else with me when i work, i let the concept slide. as you can see i concentrate on the image as a whole more when i work with another. here i test test and do more testing. with lights vasoline glass you name it.
Phineous Cas...
i gotta get me some lights do you no if theres a lighting system thats reasonably portable ive only ever relied on natures light but i had a brain flash the other day when near a stream at dawn and thought how neat it would look if i could of thrown some beams of light with gels maybe on the water for coloured effects reflections and such so im now looking for a portable light source noo of any portable lighting setups ?
Earhart Chappe... replied
they are a fortune here in the states. for the industrial nudes we do, we rent them for stuff on location.
Earhart Chappe... replied
when i am not working with e. i test out different light effects in the studio.and make up and hair. all of the above came from tests. as i do the background work for the shoots, i am always working on hair, make up , wardrobe, you name it. to be ready to shoot, our next concept.
Phineous Cas...
from what ive seen here there very expensive though ebay has chinese stuff cheap as chips just wonder how the quality would be though thx matey
what i need is like a flash that stays on permanently maybe i should just save for 2
sb 900 `s nikon s though there pretty hexy on price as well here with our dollar being right down at 68 cents to the usa dollar
Earhart Chappe... replied
i know i am in the mists of selling things, as i am moving soon. and will no longer need any of it. and i am hoping to make enough for a few goodies i want for the summer (all things photog of course, a nikon i have had my eye on, as i have my canons but its time for the new, and lights, i keep telling e we have to shoot so i can sell the stuff, asap.).
Phineous Cas...
hey what cameras have you used in the past ?
i used to or started out with canon a old 350 d was ok but then got a nikon d 300 lovelly camera to though ive lately scored a few weddings and need a second camera so i think i may get the newish nikon d 90 cant afford a nikon d 700 yet but thats what i want plus a nik 24-70mm and 14-24mm and the 70-200mm though all that will set me back well over $ 10 g`s maybe one day till then ile just dream on and use my dx format gear which is great anyway
and yeah im kinda in the same boat with regards to wanting to sell some stuff shit i got such a collection of stuff just gathering dust ebay here i come lol =]]
Earhart Chappe... replied
yeah. canon i had 5 of them i am down to my last one i believe its a rebel? xti? i have several lenses for it. but i want the nikon d 400 or is it 300, spacy today. would kill for the nikon is it d3. i am trying not to cheat, as i could go on my ebay and tell you like that..maybe i should so i do not sound stupid!
Phineous Cas...
yeah the d 300 is great pro camera weather sealing and metal body and such but was reading goofy ken rockwells site the other day and he tests everything
for half the cost of a d 300 the nik d 90 gets the same great images as a d3 or d300 plus has reasonable video as well but its lacking some of the more pro functions and such
ive heard there could be a new nikon d 400 soon though why wait if your keen to get out and shoot is my theory ha
hey b@h camera in new york has great prices or adorama ive used b@h lots to buy stuff great prices to all online to
Earhart Chappe... replied
yeah b+h is cool here, ebay, craigs, and a fewer lesser known ones are good on prices. we have a store here in town, i always try to rent it before i buy it
