Teen Shoot

[Peanuts]

Well, for any of you who were curious as to why I missed the Rocky Mountain meetup (sorry!) it was due to this wedding that went way to late, a cold, an prep for a few other shoots.

I was recently asked by a family friend who I have known for 8 years to help her start building her modelling portfolio, did we ever have a good time! Feel free to critique away. Luckily the sun was cooperative for the most part so we played around a lot with backlighting and using some 'garage light' for the more 'studio-esque' shots which I will definitely be trying again in the new future.

Thanks!

Very nice work. Lighting looks really good.

 

[DeepSpring]

You did a really great job. Lighting is superb

She should be very happy with them

 

[Garbz]

These are fantastic. Question on the first 2: Big reflector?

 

[Peanuts]

Garbz, on all of these I was using a giant 'bottletop 5 in 1' Lastolite reflector. It was especially useful in the outside ones, and for the inside (garage) one I just put it in the light on the floor slightly propped up by a box to fill in the shadows on her right side.

Thanks for the comments. Here is one more. She had said how in Vogue she had seen this one of this girl jumping and she 'just had to do it' so, here is on eof the 5 tries we got in before the light was completely gone.

1,3 and 4 are my favorites. Nice job on the lighting indeed.

 

[ClarkKent]

Very nice indeed. Super work

 

[JenR]

These are all beautiful-- especially #3 and #4

 

[Digital Matt]

Great work. I love the high key look in 1 and 3. 3 looks like "campfire" lighting

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.... I AM LOVING THEM ALL!!!!!! EXCELLENT... BET SHE LOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEES THEM! I have been working a lot on textured images like #5 and love it. Great work x

 

[Peanuts]

Thanks everyone! She was delighted with the results, however we are planning on doing a second more urban shoot sometime soon just to expand a bit of her portfolio (aspiring model) so I am looking forward to that.
#5 is very curious, I had been playing around with duo/tritones and found something I liked, then I decided it looked too 'toned', but a black and white conversion of the same image overtop and changed the blending mode to 'lighten' and this was the result! (With some scratchy stuff added of course as well)

Thanks again!

 

[Garbz]

Simply stunning, and thanks for sharing the secrets with us lesser folk

I really liked #2

 

[littlesandra]

I like them all, but in #5 her face seems to be out of place, more prominant I guess is what I'm looking for, and it seems a tad bit off, unless that is what you were going for then - bravo!
