Making of Remembrance by Ako Specht
My photo shootings become more and more complicated…no Photoshop was involved in this shooting, just a laptop, an old Apple Cinema Display, several different power sources, way too many cables and did I mention software? Yes, that too. My cool model Coma was freezing high in the mountains and the next day she had muscle ache from holding the heavy monitor quite a while, but wow was she great again.
I called this series “Remembrance“, because the remembrance of her came back with startling clarity as symbolized in the infinite picture echo.

For my latest shooting I was in need of an even more powerful version of my Light Gun, so I combined 4 flashes (3x Nikon SB-800 and 1x Nikon SB-28DX) for this Super Flash Gun.

My wife was supposed to shoot a cute Kimono girl in a park for her 20th birthday, as it is tradition here in Japan. There is a great park in the middle of Tokyo where many wedding couples take photos (including myself), but for some reason the park management does not allow reflectors…and without a reflector its difficult to get a great looking picture in the harsh autumn sun.

For an upcoming fashion shooting I was in need of a battery powered, extreme focus-able concentrated light source. And with some stuff I had lying around, I was able to build my own light gun for a material price of about 300yen ($3US)…

Back in 2002, there was no Strobist or a small flash culture, but I was already ahead of the times and created this little conception. To test it out, I’ve made an appointment with my friend June in a park and let her test it.
