Test Shoot with Temple

[DanOstergren]

A few weeks ago I reached out to a local modeling agency to set up some test shoots. Agency test shoots are something that allowed me to experiment during shoots and I did them somewhat frequently before covid, but I haven't felt inspired to do many over the last two years until now.
This model, Temple, was really great to work with. He brought amazing creativity to the shoot with his posing, expressiveness, and personal style. All were lit using natural light and a 5-in-1 reflector disk, sometimes using the diffusion disk inside the reflector to diffuse the sun, and sometimes just using the direct sunlight for it’s sculpting effect. I edited most of these to somewhat match my favorite pair of rose-tinted sunglasses.

Camera used was an original Canon 5D with a Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens.

These are incredibly good! You get the best models, I swear. This sounds like a fun shoot, and of course you're the expert at showing off this model's talent. I'm sure he's thrilled with this set.

Great work, Dan!
