Earlier this year I was introduced to a new model named Jessica, since then I have photographed her three times this year, but with conflicting schedules we didn't have an opportunity to shoot until the first week of October. Jessica posted that she wanted to learn how to use her Nikon D60 camera, so I figured I would teach her the basics and also hang out and catch up.
We really didn't have a theme, but she threw some clothes together, grabbed her cousin and we headed out. Most of the shots were done with available light and a reflector. I brought my ND4 Filter, Alien Bee 1600, white beauty dish and the Vagabond II. For those that don't know, I prefer shallow DOF and with shooting around Noon, I use the ND4 so I can shoot at F/4 to F/5.6 with a shutter speed around 1/250 to sync with my AB1600.
I wish I would've taken the time to dial-in the lighting better and found a spot that would lend itself to a better lighting angle, but with the limited space I had to make due.
I had a shoot the previous month that left me completely jaded and frustrated with Model Photography. I was definitely considering switching to Landscape and Street Photography when Jessica posted on Facebook.
I owe you a big THANKS Jessica for getting me back on track and reminding why I enjoy Model Photography.
