I've been a bit hard headed in the past, when it comes to asking for help, but last week I put that to rest. I enlisted the help of three ladies to make this photo shoot greater than any one I've had before. And that is just what they did. I can't thank them enough for what they did, because together, we created some extraordinary images. Images that I would show to an art buyer/creative director in a heart beat, and with a smile on my face.
The morning of the shoot was a bit hectic, as there were some obstacles I had to overcome. A few months ago, I went to one of the photo stores in Atlanta and picked up a 9 foot, white seamless roll of paper in order to use as a background for my studio shoots. I chose white simply because by varying the lighting, I can make it white, gray, or completely black, and only have to move my subjects a few feet either way which makes it a great option due to lack of space. However, I used it for a video shoot a few weeks ago and left it in an office. The custodial staff then came in and threw out the large seamless. And it wasn't until about 9AM when I found this out. So I had to improvise a bit, and rather than use a white seamless, we shot against a white wall. It limited me a bit, due to the fact that I couldn't take full body shots, but I think it worked out great in the end as I was able to shoot only beauty.
We ended up shooting three looks. I originally planned to only shoot two, however, the first two looks went quick so I decided to push myself to see if I could produce images for three looks, that looked as if they were shot at three different places. I think I did pretty well, but you be the judge and let me know!
