My daughter had went to a photographer to get the glam/sexy photo's done and was not too happy with the results. To her, they were all pretty boring with a pose striked on a simple white background. She wanted something different. So...I took a shot at it.
I had just uploaded some different presets in my lightroom and she wanted me to try to achieve a different look to each one. She didn't want to smile (even though I managed to squeeze in a few when she didn't know I was going to snap the picture). She also wanted her name on them because she puts her name on everything. (At least I named her something she loves).
I only have on board light...so I know there were some shadows in some and I had to add some texture to a few due to the darn wrinkling of my stupid muslin...which I plan on getting some seamless paper to avoid this in the future.
I had also just learned how to put the curves borders around it and I went a little overboard with them practicing on these photos. I now see this and realize that borders don't work with every picture.
All in all, she was extremely happy with the photos and once she posted them to her myspace...there is an overwhelming response with her friends wanting to know what photographer she went to, if she was modeling now and they want their pictures done. I am by no means a pro or anywhere close to it, so I'm not sure I feel comfortable doing her friends yet. I mean what if they were to show it to a pro photog...yikes.
Anyhow...here goes...sorry for having so many.
