Fashion Photography

A model posted on FB that she wanted to shoot Friday afternoon.  I was free, and agreed to do the shoot.  Another model wanted to join us.  The chatted back and forth about what they wanted to do, and since I don’t have a studio, decided on just a general fashion type shoot.  The other model was relying upon a ride from someone who was not able to get away.  So, it ended up it was just the one model.  She asked it it was OK if she brought her daughter, and I agreed.

We met at a park-like area next to the Hippodrome Theater.  It has some sculptures and some covers overhead.  Plus, the side of the Hippodrome had some nice fire escapes.  So, I spent an hour or so shooting the two of them.

This turned out to be a really good photograph.  It started out terrible.  When I snapped it, the exposure was way off.  It was really overexposed.  But, in Aperture, I was able to bring it back to the point where, I think it is an effective image.

She wanted a picture in her hoodie.  So, I basically did a head shot, and that came out really nice as well.

I liked the fire escape.  So, we got a couple of her on it.  Several of them weren’t too good, as she had her face behind the bars.  But this one turned out nicely.

I also got several nice photos of her daughter.  So, it turned out to be a really great experience.

Family Portraits

I agreed to do a photoshoot with a model.  She knew of a dilapidated house that she wanted to shoot at.  That sounded like fun, so I agreed.  The day before, she asked it it was OK if her husband and son tagged along.  I had not problem with that.  When we met, it was overcast with spotty showers.  She suggested we go to a local park on the lake. We went there.  I spent about an hour photographing them.  The child is almost two and acted it, but it was still a great experience. Here are a couple pics from the shoot.  I really like the first one as it displays the dynamics of a family with a two year old.

The next one is just a nice pic of the child.

Wow! I checked my email this morning. Someone posted on my site! I couldn’t believe it. I told Debbie. I knew this was the beginning. It was, no doubt, someone wanting a photographer.

I called up the post. It began by complimenting my site and my posts. Then it started talking about the writer’s own site. It seemed the writer has written and is selling a guidebook for some on-line fantasy game. Sorry dude. You just became my first rejected spam post.
