This past Sunday, August 16, Devon and I decided to rehearse for our upcoming shoot, Project MM. I've done risque shoots already, but I really needed to work on my lighting. I'm trying to emulate natural lighting for softness. This was Dev's fourth shoot and it is really cool to watch her grow as a model. We shoot some pics, review, and dissect our techniques. Dev mentioned that it is really great that I share what I'm seeing so she can make adjustments. One of the key things to photographing models is to establish a good working rapport, which includes communication and trust.
So this will be a quick post since this was mostly a learning experience for the both of us. I definitely need to work more on my lighting. I used my softbox as a hair light and then a reflector to bounce it back onto Dev. I then added a fill and set it to 1/8 power. The background light was too distracting and difficult to light up the seamless paper. I needed two pointing at the paper to get a better high key look. So... before our next shoot, I'll probably pick-up one more strobe.
Anyway, stay tuned for our Project MM pictures, most likely it'll be shot the last weekend in August.
That's a Wrap!!!
