Monday Night, One light, Damn Right.

Hey everybody The post is kinda late however on the night of march the 2nd 2009 which so happens to be a monday, I had a portrait session in my not so new anymore makeshift studio. My model was a beautiful young lady by the name of Nickel, Whom I enjoyed working with so much. She understood the aim of the session. “Me Trying to Suck Less than I usually do”. I wont reveal the amount of frames that I shot or how long it took me to get keepers. But I did get it eventually. Working with one light with a shoot through umbrella as my ownly modifier was kinda tricky at first but eventually I started to get a few things going. Here are two images from the session.

Difficulties faced during that session were

  1. I suck
  2. lack of space
  3. Lacking Artistic Direction – expressions, poses

I over came number one if even by just a single digit percentage value. The space Nothing can be done about that at the moment. and the artistic direction I’m still weak on it, but I’ll continue to shoot till I over come it.
I should be shooting her in a few days time. I’ll try my best to plan more and hopefully my next strobe will be here by then.
