Fashion and Beauty Video by Los Angeles Videographer

Fashion and Beauty Video with Athlete Lisa Dillon

Fashion and Beauty Video of athlete Lisa Dillon filmed by San Diego Fitness Photographer Robert Randall

I Recently had the chance to spend the morning with Lisa in San Diego. We put this together on a whim. As a result, we’re able to shoot completely spontaneously. Starting at her home in PB, the video became a story of her day. Next, we headed down to the Boardwalk. Shooting on the crowded boardwalk was chaotic but fun. Consequently, Lisa had to dodge the crowd and still look amazing doing it. Obviously, she did that!

Run and Gun

Shooting a fashion and beauty video without storyboarding or even a plan can be tricky. As a result, you never know if it’s going to actually work. Luckily for me, I was working with a pro. In other words, it didn’t matter. I really didn’t need to give any direction. I just had to keep up with her.

On the beach the biggest challenge was keeping tourists out of the frame. We shot several takes before getting what we needed. In addition, working with the wind and high morning sun presented their own problems. Keeping the sun and Lisa’s hair off of her face. Likewise, holding the highlights in her hair without blowing out the background.

The Park…

We wanted to get a different color pallet for some of the footage. As a result, we found a local park. I was struggling to come up with an idea that I thought would work with the rest of the footage. We needed some more close-ups. Lisa’s idea to spread her long hair the grass for a close-up was brilliant. Resulting in my favorite shot of the day.

A Few More Close-ups

Finally, we ended the day on the rooftop of her friends’ house. The sun had gone down a bit so it was a great time to get some more close-ups. Basically all I did was try to stay in focus while she came up with all of the looks.

Not a bad way to spend a Sunday!!!

Fitness Video Shoot for Unlimited Fitness | Los Angeles Fitness Video Director Robert Randall Productions

Los Angeles Fitness Video Producer Robert Randall Shoot for Unlimited Fitness in Hermosa Beach, CA

In early February we had the great opportunity to shoot a new fitness video for the great people at Unlimited Fitness in Hermosa Beach, CA. The Coronavirus shutdown came right on the heels of this shoot but gave me extra time to get all of the editings done. Which tuned out was a good thing. Between my 2nd cameraman, Tom Cisneros, and myself we shot over 130 clips and over 2500 stills for 10 hours. During that time, eight classes came through the gym. It was a crazy, whirlwind day but it gave us tons of content to work with. I hope you enjoy this video.

Thank you so much @kyjordan13 & @alexicanthemexican for the opportunity to shoot this. If you’re in HB anytime after this lockdown ends you should definitely sign up for a class and let Kristin, Alexis, and the rest of their team kick your ass for an hour. This is a killer workout…. check it out!!

NOW!

(What I’m doing right now!)

August 7th, 2019

WORK.

Working extensively in Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, New York and Europe as a photographer and director for commercial clients in the sports/fitness/active lifestyle industries.

Creating a new reel.

PERSONAL WORK.

Shooting a number of personal projects as often as possible… see below!

READING.

Currently reading Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport (for the 2nd time)

THINKING.

About the adverse effects of Social Media and society’s addiction to their devices. All the while practicing digital minimalism to the extent that I can as a visual artist. 

Also, contemplating what has happened to the United States in my lifetime and how the hell we got into this mess!

DESIRING.

Three months to sail the Greek Islands and more time to shoot personal work!

PRACTICING.

Never live someone else’s idea of how to live”

IN PRODUCTION

Personal photography projects I’m currently working on!

CALIFORNIA COAST FINE ART SERIES 

Visit our California Coast Gallery where you can view the entire series and purchase these limited edition fine art prints. Don’t forget to check back often as we are updating the gallery with new prints all of the time.

EPIC FITNESS SERIES

I am just starting on a new series of cinematic fitness/sports related images shot in harsh outdoor environments with athletes training with elements from the natural surroundings.  Boulders, tree trunks, etc… 

THE TRAVELING LIFE

A new series of travel/lifestyle images highlighting the beauty, mystery and romance of the traveler’s life! 

#WORK

A new portfolio of environmental portraits of individuals “working” and/or “playing” at their jobs. The goal of the project is to highlight people doing what could easily be defined either as “work” but to capture those individuals, so fully immersed in that activity (in a state of “flow”) that the line between work and play has blurred or vanished all together.

This project is in its infancy but I hope to make significant progress in 2019. Visit our current portfolio at robertrandall.com.

BEAUTY IN NATURAL LIGHT

I am currently shooting a new portfolio of beauty and fashion imagery lit only with direct, ambient or reflected sunlight. The majority of the images will be photographed on medium format film but no doubt opportunities will arise where some of the images will be shot digitally.
