All language subtitles for 4. Five Minute Shoot

So I went to visit Gemma Chan very, very quickly

before she went to walk the red carpet for "Eternals."

Dominic Cooper's there in her room.

He greets me and he's actually got the camera

that I designed with Daniel Craig.

The Leica Q2, so I was mega chuffed with that.

So this is the kind of shoot I deal with a lot, right.

I walk into a hotel room and I have no idea

what I'm gonna find.

So you're walking into a room

and you're juggling doing greetings.

I tend to know a lot of the people in that room.

I knew Dominic, I knew the makeup artists,

I knew the hairdresser, I know the stylist,

I know the publicist.

So you're juggling your greetings

and making an assessment of where's the light,

where are the cool pictures,

which part of this environment works best for me.

Interestingly, in this case, it was already dark.

So I didn't have the advantage of any ambient light

coming through the windows.

But what we did have, was that her makeup artist

had this dado light that he was using,

he uses to get this beautiful light for doing his makeup.

Anyway, the dado light is one of my favorite lights.

So I utilized that and I got him to help me out,

placing the light for me in the pictures.

And it worked really well for us.

I'm shooting in mirrors.

I absolutely love photographing in mirrors

and it's something you'll see repeated in a lot of my work.

So I sat Gemma in front of the mirror

and then placed the dado light in a position

that made a dramatic backlight

that is then reflected and duplicated.

Interesting thing with a shoot like this is,

it really puts pressure on you.

You've got five minutes, I'm doing three setups.

So all of that, I suppose, experience,

where you mix the technical with the artistic,

all comes into play incredibly quickly.

Another go-to light for me,

are these up-lighters in the ceiling.

Now in most situations they're this ugly light,

where you get these sort of panda eyes

and it all looks a bit wrong,

but if you angle your subject's face up,

it turns into this absolutely beautiful key lights.

And it's something that I go back to again and again.

And it worked really well in this situation with Gemma.

All in all, I'm in there for five minutes.

Thank you, bye bye.
See ya!

Thank you very much.
Cheers, bye bye. Bye bye!
