Photoshoot RECAP: Jordyn-Nov08
Posted under: This was the first photoshoot I did when I arrived back in the US. I was working with Taimur, a local DC designer, to provide images for his new fashion line for the northern Virginia fashion competion/show. Taimur had planned most of this shoot, the location was selected as the National Portrait Gallery. I scouted the location and we started shooting on a busy Saturday morning with the full DC tourism crowd.
We photographed mainly in the courtyard. This was my first shoot with the D2x and also the 70-200 2.8 Tamron. I had fiddled with the camera/lens set up for a couple days to get familiar with everything. Here are a few photos from the shoot, the stone walls work really well.
We had a bit of a stone ledge, which luckily we got Jordyn (the model) to balance and stand in. I love this one…so doll like.
Jordyn is a brave model. She jumped and flaunted her dress multiple times, keeping a perfect expression while I snapped away. And all this on 4 INCH HEELS!!! I had taken an earlier shot of her jumping, but she was blending too much into the background, so this shot was set up with the sb600 on a shoe box about 4 feet behind Jordyn.
Shot with the Tamron…I’m still trying to get used to the long focal length.
This was shot just outside the museum. I am in my shadows phase at the moment.
All in all, it was a pretty good shoot. Although I am still post processing the photos…such a backlog.
