Hi guys this if my first post in the forum, been following the blog for quite a while now.
This is a shoot which saw me returning to the studio, with a trip to Fermanagh. I had put a lot of thought into what I would like to achieve with this shoot, and it was to fill what I felt was a void in my portfolio. Id been concentrating too much on just shooting what I saw as fashion and forgot all about the beauty side of things. So I felt it was time to let my makeup artist and friend Louise Burrows loose on my models, but the biggest problem I had was finding models that I felt were suitable. I started with a shout out on facebook to see if anyone would be interested and I got a lot of positive feedback but I felt that no one quite fulfilled my requirements. So I started looking through friends and friends of friends to see if I could find someone with the look I wanted. Finally I across two ladies that I thought would be perfect for the shoot.
The setup was pretty simple; one beauty dish placed about four feet in front of the model and angled down at 45 degrees, a strobe light either side of the model to light the background and a silver reflector placed between the model and the camera to soften the shadows caused by the beauty dish being angled down.
The models were Amanda Reid and Lesley Millar, two friend s of mine. Lesley works for Style Academy Model agency and is used to being in front of the camera, where as Amanda had never tried anything like this before and was a bit nervous going into the shoot.
The camera I used was my Canon 7D along with my newest purchases a WFT-5E (wireless file transmitter grip) and a Canon 24-70mm L series lens.
Im sure youll agree that both models and Louise the makeup artist did an outstanding job on the day.

All constructive feedback welcome
