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.
It was pretty cloudy, which didn’t help the bland building colors, but those aren’t the focus of the image anyways! The indirect lighting allowed Alaina’s skin tones to remain natural without me having to worry about correcting blown-out areas in post production, so it worked out well. The wind also assisted in the creation of these [great?] images, along with making it difficult to get the perfect capture. Even so, we were able to pull about 100 usable pictures out of nearly 500 taken.
Hey! I was browsing and found this. How is it going? I was wondering if you had the rest of the picture from the photo shoot we did together.
Sure do! I’ll email you.
