esquire-5kThe latest cover of Esquire magazine features Kate Beckinsale in a startling lack of clothes (well, not all that startling actually) shot with the Red Epic 5k camera.  This was done previously with the Red One 3k, so this cements Kate’s position as a full 2K better.  The article has some interesting commentary on how the advent of these cameras is changing the art of photography away from pose & timing into a more “dynamic” system.

It’s technologically interesting since, with both the 3K and the 5K Red cameras, they’re able to take video and strategically take out frames to use as stills. This makes it a lot easier on the photographer since he doesn’t need to know, intuitively, when the best few seconds are to snap a stream of shots—he can just point the thing and tell Kate to be sexy.

Look after the break for video from the shoot, in what seems to be 5K resolution.  Scaled down for the web there’s some odd crawling artifacts but you get the idea.
