Hi all, I just came across these photographs taken back in the 1990’s of what I think must have been some of the first shows of the Red Green Show.
It was filmed right in Hamilton Ontario at the CHCH TV studios. Today’s Faces was hired to shoot on set and on location.
It was a lot of fun and laughs, as you can well imagine. Also it was challenge. For all you photography buffs we had know digital cameras that shot 2000 ISO that got great clear images from. We had to use tungsten film balanced for the studio lights and its ISO was 320, shot with a Hasselblad from a tripod at, I can still remember 1/15s at f4. Telling the cast do not move or you will be a blur, as we could not use flash. The other choice was use 400iso daylight film with correction filter on lens, but then you lost a stop by using the filter so you were no better off.
OH my! How Photography has change.
It was great that S and S Productions hired a local Hamilton photographer and we were pretty new in the photography business, to put their trust in us to photograph the show for their advertising.
Thank you Red Green, it was a honor to be involved with the early days of the show, and a great time too.
