New Pics with a Black Backdrop & Constant Lighting
by Jason on Aug.13, 2009, under Photoshoots
I know it’s been a while, again… and honestly, while I haven’t been doing a bunch of shooting, I have several things I need to post up – I just haven’t had time while finishing up my degree this summer.
But! I finished this last week and have a few pictures to share of Jess, a great model I met through ModelMayhem. I setup my new black/white backdrop & stand in the garage, borrowed a lighting kit from the school, and we shot for most of a Saturday.
The pics in the gallery below are a sampling, and I think we turned out some cool stuff! I definitely liked the black background and got to spend some time with constant lighting, which is good. My paintball gun and vest, along with my Springfield XD-9 made very cool props! We did some artistic nudes, as well, which I’ve decided should stay on my ModelMayhem profile. They turned out well, and portfolio-worthy, I think, so I’ll chalk that up as another first and a success!
Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
Urban Downtown Dallas Photoshoot – Finally!
by Jason on Mar.17, 2009, under Photoshoots
After at least two failed attempts at making a photoshoot happen near the Downtown Dallas intersection of Cockrell & Alma, also known as “Little Baghdad,” I was finally able to pull it off, with the help of a fantastic model.
Alaina, a fellow motorcycle rider and local model, is the first talent that I’ve had the pleasure of working with off ModelMayhem. I frequently browse through the newest member profiles to see if anyone meshes well with the work I’m planning at the time, and she fit the description. I shot her a message, and a few weeks later we put the shoot. My choice to contact her was definitely not a poor one, and I think the shoot was my most successful yet.
Below are the twenty images she chose for retouching, let me know what you think!
Lessons Learned
- Cloudy days shouldn’t necessarily be avoided, great things can happen!
- Wind is as cool as you think it is, you just have to be prepared to snap a lot of pictures – and work on your timing
- Pay more attention to the colors of your surroundings when scouting for locations. The bland tan colors in this location didn’t strengthen the shots, in my opinion.
- PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR ANGLES! Some of these implied nudity shots turned out great, but admittedly they were created by accident – If I had been paying more attention, some even better shots could likely have been captured.
