So, one of my best friends just got engaged. I'm doing a freebie engagement session (my first) to get some practice under my belt. They're my guinea pigs, persay. And since they're not paying me anything, if the shots stink, we haven't really lost anything but a couple of hours. :lmao:
Anyway, I can't say I'm an advanced shooter (I have a Flickr account by the same screen name)... and this is definitely my first engagement session.
We'll be doing it on the beach, a very white beach (lots of reflection going on!)...
I'm open to any tips you can give me. Technical, posing, any of it!
I know the best way to learn is to just run with it and see what happens. But anything you can give me beforehand to make the shoot as smooth as possible would be much appreciated. I'd like to give them something they can be proud of.
In the meantime, I'm spending lots of time on Flickr getting ideas.
My gear is a Rebel Xti with a kit lens, I do own a nice fish... and a speedlite 430 (though I'm thinking it might be a bit too bright to bust this one out). I really should figure out how to put my gear in my siggy at some point so I don't have to keep repeating myself :lmao:
