It took me 23 days into the New Year to actually use my camera…
But it was a good day to use it, as me and Dom were photographing performing arts students in the studio for their portfolio’s, and for our agency (‘Turn It Up Photography’- website coming soon) to get some work we can show other clients. This business stuff is hard work, and business plans are utter nightmares.
Anyway, so we were just doing headshots of these students, a couple of full lengths and three close ups, we didn’t know how to pose them, and some of them were so shy they didn’t know what to do either. I had thought they would have been prepped for this shoot, but nevermind. I suppose posing models is a skill i’ll need to work on…tips?
I hate my tendency of getting ill, just gets me so far behind on my course, building up the stress which makes me less likely to want to do any work. Such a good student still.
Here’s one of the playful shots..
Some tips here, Gema, more so in Part 2, but you might as well flick through from the beginning http://www.strobist.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/on-photographing-people-pt-1.html
Also, as I discovered the other day a glass of wine at lunch can loosen a model up, but when model drinks half the bottle the session is lost
cheers

A glass of wine always calms me!

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it
can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it
with someone!
