First off.. happy birthday steph.. today is her true birthday.. and she has us up early and working LOL.. She had booked me a photoshoot with her friend Emil from Behemoth for some product shots for their website.
Maybe i'm just used to working with models with some experience, so when it came to shooting Eric and Steph it was akward lol. Every pose seemed so forced, but when we actually got them out of thinking about posing, I got shots that actually looked natural. It just took Emil and I to converse with them, make them laugh and it was then where I would fire off and take some shots.. too bad I dont have a fast enough eye like Toks to see the shot and take it.. it was alot of trial and error and dialing and redialing.. but Im pretty happy with how the shoot turned out, got a lot of useful shots and snuck in a few artsy shots for personal portfolio LOL.
Here are a few shots from the shoot.. since its a paid shoot, I cant really show them all yet without approval from the client.. plus.. i havent run these through photoshop yet.. so these are exactly how i took them.
I've been talking with Kevin while he's on the road.. and I think I know the lens I want to get next. WOOT. I do love my portrait shots, so i'll probably head for a portrait lens.
Slowly but surely.. I just gotta practice practice practice. =)
