I shot indoors! Can you believe it? It's been a very long time since I have used professional, very expensive, studio lighting. I usually don't have any need for it, as 90% of my shoots take place outdoors (thank you, California). The last time was actually in 2008, in one of my last photography classes, during a lighting and film demo, using an 8x10 medium format camera (so fun/incredible). So, I jumped quickly last week at the opportunity to participate in a studio lighting workshop event with PUG Long Beach (Pictage User Group). A photographer friend (and amazing mentor!) of mine hosted the event, and provided our group with a few models to use. This was a great refresher, and additional learning experience because I realized that while I appreciate the convenience and possibility of studio lighting and equipment, I LOVE being outside, shooting outside, and working with natural elements, like the sun and clouds. ;) Big kudos to all the editoral/fashion photographers out there!
Next time I will have more of a story in mind, but for now, here are a few of my favorites.... :)
Meet Becca, one of the sweet & lovely models, who is also a makeup artist!
Wasn't sure if this pose would work, but its actually my favorite.
A very big thank you to PUG Long Beach, and to Becca, our beautiful model!
