Behind the Scenes with Brooke Shaden for "Creating Illusions"

[heikohirsche1]

love you work!!! THANK YOU! So beautiful...

you mentioned that you switched over to manual focus when you were getting the different apple-layer shots... may I ask why you did this? Was it to prevent auto-focus from screwing up the shot by focusing on something other than the model (ex: yourself or the apple), or did you adjust the manual focus later to focus on apples in the foreground and background for those specific apple-layers?

Thanks, love your work.

wonderful to see bts videos and shots. not only to help others with their work but to prove how human the entire process is :) thanks for that!

Not hard, but certainly more time consuming than how long it took to do it this way :)

would it really be hard to hang the apples?

haha you really are like a doctor indeed:)

"one apple a day keeps the doctor away" I heard, but I guess there might be exceptions to that:)

LOVE watching your behind the scenes, I'm learning a lot.

I know you don't like to reveal a lot, so I deeply appreciate what you're doing<3

Keep you wonderful work coming:)

@polisherci On the contrary I've found Brooke to be very forthcoming with anything you'd want to know about her technique or process.  Take one of her workshops and you'll be amazed at what a passionate instructor she is and how far out on a limb she'll go to help you understand.

@oceandrew Yes, I do know that she is such a good teacher although I haven't been able to experience.You are so lucky to have:)

I just read her blog every now and then and she does not wish to reveal things whenever someone asks her to.

I didn't mean to say that she's a scrimpy person or anything:)

This is just appreciable:)
