Just got back from the shoot...it was very fun and informative. I learned more in two hours working with noel than I think I would have in a year on my own. Being able to watch him work with the model, from how to talk to them, to how to pose them...was priceless. When it came to my turn I had creative block and stagefright maybe...lol. I just could not think of things to do. As time went on, she'd try her thing, if it worked I shot it, if it didn't then I made suggestive improvements. It was just a very great time. I think I have some good shots, going to run through them now so it will be a while till I post them...but as soon as I run em through I'll have 'em up.
here is a quick glimpse of the setup, photogs wife stood on paper for us to dial in settings...obviously mine were not dialed in yet, lol. hard to see but there is a reflector on a stand in front of the light on the right. two strobes, light on table high shooting down on backdrop, and a reflector at models left.
The hotel donated to us a conference room. It was a bit tight with all the gear in there, I had to actually stand outside the door (it was a secluded hall not open public hall) to be able to use my 50mm. Later on I put on my kit lens to be able to shoot at a wider angle as I still don't have a great quality wide angled lens. We were going for more full body than crops so I did with what I had.
Later we walked around after two outfit changes and went to the bar and the pool.
anyway, off to run through the set and see what I got....
Here's the quick shot kinda showing the setup. Not much of a shot but better than my words I guess.
