Photojournalist Carlin Stiehl specializes in music reportages, and his shoot with beautiful artist Chaynler was not an exception. Great MUA and stylist work enriched photos with amazing colors and composition.
I’m an LA native and aspiring photojournalist. I cover a lot of underground jazz and hip-hop shows in my spare time, specifically ones tied to @backbeatla. In the past year, I’ve been working on artist collaborations for fashion/commercial shoots, and most recently this shoot with Chaynler. She’s an up and coming artist who recently released a new album, and I wanted to do something with her that reflected the vibe and personality of her and her music. This shoot was also a cool opportunity to test out these new lights Tom got from @parablixlight. They give off a unique hard light that still retains softness in the highlights, creating a beautiful contour and saving me time in post. This shoot was truly a collaborative effort, and there was no way it could have been done without the help of everyone who took part in it: Hill 4, 3 hours, 3 solid looks – 2 with strobes and one with natural light.

Stage Hill 4 is one of our largest and brightest stages. Advantageously positioned with the windows facing west and north, this stage gets plenty of sift indirect sunlight in the first half of the day and lots of direct sunbeams in the second half. Hill 4 is furnished with several comfy and photogenic couches of cream and and golden/brown leather color. As with any our other stages a standard package of three basic backdrops and three lights is available within the stage already. For more information visit stage Hill 4 on our website.
