Photoshoot RECAP: Darina-Nov08
Posted under: If the Natasha photoshoot was cold like Maine, then this photoshoot is the equivalent of Alaska. It was one of these deceiving winterdays with blue sky, white clouds but absolutely bone chilling brisk air. This was a challenge on the model, Darina. Even though she was wearing slightly more clothes than my two previous photoshoots, today was simply much much too cold. her fingers froze white, cheeks and ears turned red….not an easy shoot. For this shoot, we met up in an empty parking lot just north of the MCI centre. Again, walking around town taking photos on the go. I love the different textures and architecture throughout DC. Although DC is not as unique as say New York or San Fran, but certain areas of the city can still prove to be quite a gem.
Here are some photos from the shoot. enjoy
Bright sunny day causes harsh shadows, so I decided to use the flash to make her pop and hence I can drop the bright sky and background.
Wanted to go for the nostalgic, a bit film noir look.
The ray pattern comes from a flash set below the staircase and aimed upwards…worked out surprisingly well.
I’m still not 100% happy with the processing on these…might let these sit around a while and come back to them for processing.

[...] Marie as the MUA, fabulous to work with her again. I initially worked with her on the shoot with Darina. Eugene came in with all the vintage styles and some fabulous antique pieces. [...]
