Fantasy Photography & Digital Art in Banff, Alberta

[@Serendipity11118]

Thank you! Thank you so much! This has brought me inspiration to start photography again. I have always loved it especially as a child. I asked for a camera for Christmas a real one but because we was poor I got a disposable one. I’m old guys😂 that disposable camera at 7 years old changed my life lol I took pictures of my animals, friends at school, family and I set all my stuffed animals up with tea cups and took their photos as well. When in high school I saved enough money to get my own camera. It was a $60 camera in 2001. I loved it so much. I forgot about that part of me. Your video has brought that back in me.

[@ReneeRobyn]

Omg that’s amazing! I’m so flattered… I love that you have such fond memories hidden away 💖💖

[@ReneeRobyn]

For the camera nerds! I hope this helps :) The final edits were all shot on a Canon 5DSR and Canon 35mm 1.4 Prime Image stats: Edit # 1 - F 1.4, Exposure 1/5000 sec at 35mm. ISO 160 Edit # 2 - F 1.4, Exposure 1/3200 sec at 35mm. ISO 160 Edit # 3 - F 1.6, Exposure 1/1600 sec at 35mm. ISO 160 Edit # 4 - F 1.6, Exposure 1/1000 sec at 35mm. ISO 160

Love watching you work the scene and post processing,more please ❤

[@ReneeRobyn]

Working on it! 💖

[@michaelj7069]

The algorithm knows me. Beautiful work!

[@ReneeRobyn]

Aw yay!! And thank you! 💖

[@b.war.8651]

Beautiful work! Beautiful gowns! Would love to see more of both on location and editing if possible! Thank you. Blessings. 🙏🏻

[@ReneeRobyn]

Aaahhhh I hate shooting on location 😂 but ok I’ll try! And editing videos is definitely possible 💖

[@nicolen994]

She said, "yayy, i'm not a complete hack"😂😂literally how I feel starting out so afraid people will just think that & that I'm passing off as I just know exactly what i'm doing. Makes me feel better knowing even professional photographers go with the flow, adjust based on their environment, & that is NORMAL. Nothing is "perfect" or goes to plan but somehow, for the most part, it works out & becomes "perfect"❤️❤️❤️

[@ReneeRobyn]

See!? There you go 💖💖💖

[@bobgamble8204]

Would love to see more, great job as always! Great to see a pro such as yourself being messy in PS, my layers are always all over the shop, even when I start with good intentions!

[@ReneeRobyn]

Always with good intentions but things get messy sometimes haha

[@fotografannehelenegjelstad8395]

You always make me smile and I always enjoy your work Renee!

[@ReneeRobyn]

Ahh I am flattered, thank you! 😭💖

[@dougedwards7570]

what a great big ball of fun :) loved it

[@ReneeRobyn]

Thank you so much! :)

[@MarcySB]

Loved the whole thing. This was so fun to watch. Amazing to see a fabulous compositor using a model who never composites and only does beautiful self portraits. I’m not a bugs person either; thanks for stepping outside your comfort studio to do this. Looking forward to your next video.

[@ReneeRobyn]

Haha I’m glad you enjoyed it! The studio is definitely my happy safe bubble 😅

[@marshag6345]

On location !!!! Just loved this so much. Great insight to your thinking and execution. Plus Photoshop to add the icing to the cake. (and thank you for enduring the bugs ....I hate bugs too LOL)

[@ReneeRobyn]

Thanks so much for watching! 🥰 and yes, the bugs this year are the size of German Shepard’s so they’re quite the monsters this year! 😂

[@marshag6345]

[@ReneeRobyn]

I’m working on another video on location! I hope you will enjoy it too 💖

[@ninobatista]

As always, stunning and beautiful work from Renee and an inspiration

[@ReneeRobyn]

Ah thank you so much!!

[@mikeo7781]

I don't think it matters where you shoot, you're artistically gifted and talented. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

[@ReneeRobyn]

Hahha well thanks for watching, and the nice words!

[@bonniepryce5031]

I just watched several of your videos Renee. You are a wizard in the studio. So awesome and so much fun to watch this one. I loved watching you create and really enjoyed seeing your vision com together. So yes more photoshop for sure. I especially loved the blue dress Lizzie wore. Is there a link you could share for the dress.

[@ReneeRobyn]

Oh you can get that blue dress at HolyClothing.com :) and thank you so much!! I’ll see what I can come up with once this flu is done kicking my ass 😅

[@marysanti1787]

I cannot believe there is a video with my very two favorite photographers and I did not knew until now!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!

[@ReneeRobyn]

Ahahaha hello!! Yes it happened! 💖💖

[@ReneeRobyn]

I love that you’re so excited! Maybe Elizabeth and I can organize another paired shoot in the future??

[@marysanti1787]

@ReneeRobyn ohhhhh Yes please!!!!!!

[@ReneeRobyn]

I’ll see what I can do! 💖

[@Dracorubio76]

Love your vids. I’m the same on location, happy with the free surrounding and details, but gah on controlling lights.

[@ReneeRobyn]

Ahahaha yeah it’s a whooollleeee thing 😂😂

[@adreaminfocus]

My gosh stunning work❤

[@ReneeRobyn]

Aw thank you so much!

[@MarkTyger]

Another great vid Renee! And thank you so much for sharing some of your PS layer process. I love to see the incremental evolution and the creative decisions along the way. I think it helps to de-mystify the "Creative Magic" in Photoshop and show that there is still a lot of effort, skill and experience involved in using PS and creating work at a professional level. Fantastic stuff!

[@ReneeRobyn]

Aw shucks thank you! Definitely don’t make your layer stacks the way I do 😂

[@bettyjones671]

Great video guys! Loved the fnished photos..🥰 The staircase reminds me of Bonds Park, here at home😊

[@ReneeRobyn]

Trying to remember if I’ve been to bonds park or not. Doesn’t sound familiar!

[@bettyjones671]

@@ReneeRobyn maybe not, Curtis knows it well. It’s in Whitbourne

[@ReneeRobyn]

Ahhh then I have not seen it yet :)

[@gsphotoguy]

This is amazing, I love both of your work and was excited to see the incredible photographs you made together.

[@ReneeRobyn]

Aw thank you! It’s hard to take bad photos of Lizzy 💖

[@bobrob8839]

So very nice, great job everyone! Boris FX is amazing, love that program!

[@ReneeRobyn]

Oh man Borix FX is amazingly good! I think I’m gunna do a video on it one of these days.

[@adriaankastelein9476]

Lovely work, photo’s and the edit. Perhaps I also have to try something like this.

[@ReneeRobyn]

Yesss definitely try!

“And this is a mystery layer…”. 😂😂😂 You have those too? I thought it was just me. What light did you use the beat the sun?

[@ReneeRobyn]

Bahaha I constantly have mystery layers 😂 and we just used a strobe pro light! Not sure the power but it was a fair bit. I don’t use strobe pro normally :)

[@Glam_and_oddities]

Merci ❤😊

[@ReneeRobyn]

vous êtes les bienvenus :)

[@virginiavintage3122]

Absolutely stunning! Who made the blue dress?

[@ReneeRobyn]

I ordered it from Holy Clothing a few years ago :)

[@schtoopid]

We were there last week. I hope we didn't just miss you!

[@ReneeRobyn]

Damnit! We DID just miss each other!

[@schtoopid]

@@ReneeRobyn I want to give this a thumbs down.

[@ReneeRobyn]

We fucked up! 😝

[@schtoopid]

@@ReneeRobyn oh well. It'd be pretty creepy if I knew where you were all the time.

[@ReneeRobyn]

Lol true

[@ericarnold9072]

Fantastic job with all of this. Do you have a preferred list of the effects vendors you are using? I've got your fire sword stock, Boris FX, DxO Nik Software, and a ton of other stock, overlays, textures, and brushes, but I am always looking for more. Currently, I'm looking for some good wings and haven't found anything I'm happy with. Most of the stock shows the backside of the wings, which makes no sense when you're adding them to a person.

[@ReneeRobyn]

Oh man CG Hacks has tons of great stuff! Highly recommend. Also I got some nice wings in Adobe Stock 💖 I’m constantly hoarding shit 😂
