Photoshoot RECAP: Natasha-Nov08
Posted under: This was a back-to-back photoshoot to the previous shoot with Jordyn and Taimur. Working without studios, I was shooting on location again. However, it just happened…this turned out to be one of the coldest and windiest days. Cold days are always a challenge for everyone. Models become frigid and cannot pose as easily. Then there’s the red cheeks, the goosebumps and the shivers. As for the photographer, it tends to be stiff fingers. This shoot was no different, although I have to give credit to the models. Even though they were posing in quite skimpy outfits, they were still able to pose magnificently.
With this photoshoot, I was working with Natasha a local stylist with clothes provided by NelleArdnae. I chose on the Georgetown location for our shoot. We were shooting on the go, walking around a three block area.
Here are some shots:
This is Mynae shot with the sun setting down shinning on to the brick wall behind Mynae and SB800 and SB600 shooting through a reflector at the model (more on this on-the-go setup in a later post).
Erica-braving the cold!!!
This was captured with the sun peeking in and out as it was setting down. I positioned mynae so that her face would be perfectly lit by the sun and I exposed the photo for her face. As you can see from the photo…the wind was strong!
These two are my favourite shots from the shoot. Story behind the shot is a bit of a lucky story. During my photo scouting, I had talked with the parking attendant at a small underground parking garage, who was fascinated by photography. When I asked whether he’d mind if we photographed in the garage, he agreed and I was thrilled. This was taken in the garage with Mynae standing under a fluorescent light, SB600 behind her to create rim lighting and SB800+reflector shooting bare in front of her for fill. In my opinion the lighting balance worked out perfectly. I love these two shots. Linda’s edgy makeup added the photo even further.
Erica’s last outfit was a bit of leather and corset. So I wanted a bit of the grunge look in the garage. Erica’s strong pose made the shot.
On location shots are so much fun, they are a challenge, but it’s just brilliant to find interesting location and meet great people who can help you out with the shoot.
