Another crummy model shoot.

And I say that b/c of lighting. I reeeeeaaaaallllllly need to practice getting that whole concept down and portable too, but the more you do, the more you understand, right?

This was essentially another test run of 70-200 and 1st outing for my Flashbender and occasional reflector from another photog.








Romantic Rock Shoot at Palms

i am only seeing the 3rd pic, groovy shoes btw.

Why are they so close to the wall? Were you trying to do this as an effect? I think it would look better if you pulled them off of the wall, and used your lens to blur the area behind them. I would also touchup some of their "areas", such as the legs on the last picture.

I see this allot. Photographers putting subjects to close to the wall or backdrop. Shadows become very noticeable. I even observed a few photos on a customers walls yesterday that were taken of their daughter's dance formals. All the girls were against the walls and shadows were all over the place. Too bad because the lighting was nice and soft as were the shadows. But they were still very noticeable. The photos looked ridiculous.

Another thing to keep in mind is that failure is a good thing. We learn from failure. If we don't see what causes things to go wrong, how do we expect to do everything right?

They were close to the wall because it was the only good spot to shoot and it was about 1pm, so the shadow of the building was scarce. Wanted to avoid harsh direct sunlight. We also had to do this real quick since security was barking at us even outside.

Otherwise agreed on all accounts.

Did security bark at the tattoo legs or those shoes. Thanks for the tips re the background
