Nicole


Continuing with my fashion shoot images, I finally found out the names of the ladies.  This is Nicole after her clothing change.  I like this outfit much better than her wrinkled yellow rain dress.

Nicole was lit by the beauty dish/rim light combo for this image.

The Thinker

Blog number four from my fashion photo shoot.

More from Rex today.  Most of the time he was picking his own poses or was being directed by other shooters, but this pose was my request.  And he did it so well.

Here is a reference shot of the dramatic lighting that lit Rex so well.  One single light shining down from above.  Sometimes a reflector was used to lighten some of the shadows a bit.  The reflector was used on his arm and torso in the pose above.

Lovely


Blog three from my fashion photo shoot.  This model was so strikingly lovely.  Of the two female models, I thought this one was, by far, the prettiest.

Her smile could light up a room.

This lighting setup was a single beauty dish lighting the face and a small rim light for the hair.  (The rim light is off to the left, out of view.)  See reference pic below.

Little Miss Sunshine


Blog number two from my fashion photo shoot.  There were three models all together, Rex and two lovely ladies.  Funny, I didn't pay attention to the ladies' names, but I remember Rex's.

This model is all set for a few raindrops with her red raincoat and sunny disposition.

There were three studio lighting setups for this fashion shoot.  These two shots were done with two octo lights.  The image below is a quick reference shot I took of the setup.

Rex

I recently joined a camera club and last night I went to my second meeting.  But instead of a regular meeting, we met at a studio with our cameras and got to shoot professional models.  I had an absolute blast!  Being able to walk into a studio already set up so I didn't have to fuss with lighting, with professional models that knew what they were doing, and being able to just shoot shoot shoot away, was utterly fantastic!  My membership dues paid for themselves last night, that's for sure.  I'm now whittling away at 130 images.  You can enjoy this image of Rex while you're waiting.  Stay tuned...
