Hello Again

It's been a couple of years since I made my last blog entry. Over the last month or so I have redesigned my website and thought now would be a good time to revive the blog to keep everyone a breast of what's going on with my shooting.

On Saturday (March 13th) I arranged a shoot with a couple of local fitness models Amber and Leigh to help expand my portfolio. This is the type of photography I am really trying to expand in to.

It was the first time I had shot with two models on the same shoot so it was a lot of time management. I booked a great Make-up artist and she started work on the models after a quick coin toss to see who would go first.

I had planned on shooting 3 sets with different backgrounds for more variety but clearly 4 hours of studio time isn't enough when shooting two models. Something I need to think about if shooting two models again would be booking an entire days studio time. Or getting my own studio, which clearly isn't in the cards at this point but I digress.

The Make-up took longer then I expected, so after I setup the first lighting setup there was still close to 20 minutes until my first model was ready to shoot. After we had the first model finished things really turned into a breeze, as all we had to do was concentrate on clothing changes.

Below is a diagram of the lighting setup I used for the image at the top.
