somebody shared one of my videos on his playlist,
and out of the blue,
I got 100
new subscribers!
pretty cool.
if you are new here,
my name is Cassio.
I have been a
fashion photographer for 20 years and I made this channel to share with you
what I have learned through all these years!
have a look at this pictures here.
aren't they colorful?
pretty cool, yeah?
check these colors out!
these pictures are
scenes taken from Wes Anderson movies.
do you know who Wes Anderson is?
he's a
movie maker.
he directed movies like grand Budapest hotel, fantastic mr. Fox,
Darjeeling limited, only to name a few of his movies.
what makes
this movies unique,
are the colors!
I bet he spends a good amount of time studying
the wheel of colors and the different shades for each color.
you have different
shades of yellow.
you have different shades of green,
you have different
shades of brown,
you have different shades for every
single color, haven't you?
that's what we're gonna be talking about today,
the fifty shades of brown
and fifty shades of grey!
not the movie.
the color!
before we go on,
let me introduce you to the model who's gonna be the star of our
video today.
she's gonna be in every single picture from now down to the end.
check her out
pretty classic kind of beauty she has,
hasn't she?
she was a finalist for the Miss Universe Japan contest.
she was up there,
on the stage.
she and another girl ,
one of them is gonna be the Miss Universe Japan.
the master of ceremonies.
and the winner is....
the other girl !!
she might
be so upset !
I asked her,
didn't you feel like punching
the other girl in the head?
I would for sure!
anyway,
one day ,
out of the blue,
she called me asking me to take her portraits,
she was in need of new pictures and,
you know,
she just gave me a call,
can we do it?
sure, yeah!
but then I was thinking,
where I'm gonna take her portraits?
then I remember there is a nice and old
who brick wall not too far from my place.
the brick wall could
could work pretty well as a backdrop for her portraits.
she has got this
classic look about her.
she looks like that French actress from the movie
Un Homme et une Femme.
I think her name was Anouk Aimee.
something like that.
on the movie, Anouki was always wearing this coat,
through Paris streets and on the
beach and inside the train.
she was always wearing a coat.
since our model looks on her,
I said, why don't you bring a coat?
that's where
the fifty shades of brown
come in!
we shooting against a brown brick wall, yeah?
I asked her,
don't you have a light
kind of brown tone coat?
she goes, yeah I think I have
a beige one!
how about
wearing something darker underneath the coat.
just to make a contrast between the
light tone of the coat and the dark whatever she's wearing underneath.
how about
something black?
I have grey!
yeah, grey could do!
grey against the light
tone coat would be nice!
a nice contrast!
and she said also,
that she had black
tights!
bring the tights too!
black tights could be something very close to
very dark brown.
I think these colors together would look
great against our brick wall there!
okay,
shooting day,
she comes over, I take a
look at her!
she was looking fine!!
as if she had just
stepped out of a movie shooting!
man she was like the French woman of the
movie there.
we walked to the location.
let's
photograph something simple.
you don't need to go like...
not this kind of picture,
something natural.
just be yourself. give me a bit of shoulder,
play with her hands
a little bit.
play with your hair.
flip here, flip there!
be simple and natural.
that's all I said to her,
apart from that,
the only other thing that came
out of my mouth,
was the soundtrack of the movie!
as I was photographing,
I was like...
classic! isn't it?
doesn't she look like the French actress?
and the colors!! I think I got it right there!!
the 50 shades of brown
are there!
I was so pleased with these pictures that I asked her,
let's do again!
but this time with a male model along,
let's have a a little love story.
you and a guy.
let's photograph it just like the movie,
un Homme et une Femme.
both of you were in coat.
in somewhere nice out there,
and I knew this spot,
under a white bridge,
that goes across the bay,
a huge bridge.
they would look great!
perfect.
a couple, the bridge, the lines.
you see that there
is a car in the movie,
maybe I can get a car as well,
so, a couple, a car, the bridge.
I asked her.
do you know any stylist?
whom can get some clothes together.
I mean,
nice clothes together!
she goes,
yeah I have this guy there !
we called the guy.
we all got together for a little meeting.
I asked the guy.
can you get grey coats?
the bridge is white, yeah?
if they are
wearing grey,
it is not black,
it is grey. It is close to white...
you know what I mean?
the 50 shades of grey.
maybe I can get a black car.
in the movie they have a
Mustang, yeah?
but it would be impossible to get the Mustang.
I don't know
anybody who owns a Mustang.
how about a Citroen?
a romantic looking car.
I don't know anybody who owns a Citroen.
All I could get
was this super expensive Rolls-Royce.
black and silver.
that's the problem of
having only rich friends!
I wish I had more poor friends,
so could make
my life easier!
yeah, we got this car!
boom!
we got it together!
white bridge,
the couple,
and the black and silver car.
all we need now is the stylist
getting the right clothes! yeah?
he got the right stuff!
check this out!
50 shades of grey, isn't it?
perfect! I just love this series!
I photographed this just
like I would have done for a fashion editorial.
yeah?
usually fashion
editorials, they have like six pages.
one two three four five six
in my case here,
I like to have the opening
page in a spread,
two pages and one single picture going across.
the viewer can sense where the models are,
what they are doing and stuff.
and following 4 pages,
I could have one model inside the car,
another one outside of the car.
a portrait and both models outside of the car.
different variations, yeah?
just like a fashion editorial, isn't it?
let me tell you what,
the guy, the model,
he was three meters tall!!
the guy is up there,
third floor.
the guy is huge!
wow, to get that bridge,
to get the lines of the bridge going down there,
I had to shoot a little bit from below.
if I should from up here, I don't see the bridge because it is above me.
I have to be a little bit from below,
the guy is ahead, the girl is a
little bit back.
so what happens?
I gonna have to crop the picture a little bit
above her head.
when I was taking the picture, I could already tell that
if I crop right above her head,
I'm gonna crop his head off the picture!
so, I had
to find a way to make this guy shorter.
I didn't have a chainsaw to cut his
legs in the middle and
make him look like a dwarf, yeah?
how am I gonna do that?
I have to make this guy shorter!
it worked!
do you know what I mean?
you can see in the picture that it worked!
the guy is walking
like a robot!
it's so funny man! we had a laugh!
on photoshop,
I used the bleach filter.
bleach filter you can bring the warm tones of the skin
a bit down,
make the dark tones of the clothes with a bit more contrast,
and also the bleach filter washes out a little bit of the whites as well.
we got this right there!
it is 50 shades of grey, isn't it?
you can do that too!
maybe you can find a brick wall somewhere close to your place,
or even a wooden garage shutter,
where you can play with the 50 shades of brown,
maybe you can find a wall covered with foliage,
then you can play with 50 shades of green.
you can even photograph against the blue sky
and use the 50 shades of blue
for the clothes.
it's just a question of finding a nice spot there and
tell your model to bring different shades of clothes that match that spot there!
you can do that, Jack!
it's going to look good!
it's gonna look very cinematic,
when you show the pictures around
and if you post on Facebook,
people are
gonna like it !!
yeah? you should try it out!
the video I gonna be uploading
here on YouTube next week,
is going to be also about colors,
but instead of talking about
different shades over the same color,
I gonna talk about opposite colors,
have a look at the preview of the video
and I see you next week, Jack!
see you!
