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.

Up and running (sort of)

Yesterday, when I said this was open for business, it isn’t really open for business. What I meant is that the site is up and running. I worked a little today and produced new “feature images” for the Children, Families, and Weddings galleries. I also added more pics to the Seniors/Adults gallery.

My goal is to get everything up and ready to start “phase two” on October 1.
