Stand like a mannequin I said and then it hit me. You know what would be good mick, the blade runner soundtrack.

The makeup evolved after that, you can probably guess in what direction, but that’s a story for another post and how photoshoots can just evolve on set.

Your maestro for the evening.

Not the one playing the piano, the one deciding what the room looks like while somebody else plays it. I.e me!!

There’s a strange kind of authority you have to fake when somebody’s watching you like you know exactly what you’re doing. Do I? Some days.

This was one of the good days. My method generally is to decide if the background should blur or not first. For here the answer was obviously not too much. Adjust shutter without going into HSS if possible and not too slow to introduce motion blur and then decide ISO before introducing flash. For me a soft box rarely points straight at my subject, just the edge so light skims across, this prevents those nasty forehead hotspots!

Anyway. This is what a good evening looks like when it goes right.

Ran into someone the other week I’ve not seen in about two years and within about four minutes it was like no time had passed at all.

Ring/message the person you’ve not spoken to in a while. Worst case it’s awkward for ten seconds.

One of the reasons i love photography is stories.

I love that a single photograph can make people feel something completely different.

One person sees confidence.

Another sees elegance.

Someone else sees strength, vulnerability or a memory they haven’t thought about in years.

As photographers, we create the image.

But the viewer finishes the story.

Long after the shoot is over, the image carries on having conversations with people I’ll never meet.

This shoot didn’t go to plan……

Thankfully it was easy enough to find a back up plan, although I’m not sure Zee wanted to feel like she was studying again when she was meant to be on her summer break.

I’m normally game for the challenge of let’s shoot when the sun is at its peak but this day it was harsh, really harsh! It was bright and all the colours on the back of camera (both cameras) just looked awful (I later found out I had gamma assist on still from doing some video, turns out memory recall doesn’t override that one).

The plan was wide angle shots sticking to 17mm for the majority of this, taking in the location and some interesting angles and using the godox v1 on camera flash. If we didn’t have the indoor option I’d have probably bailed to 85mm stuck zee in some shade (if we could actually find any) and took boring portraits, but then we could have been anywhere!

It’s not often I get seriously frustrated but this was one of them. The British weather is such a minefield for outdoor shooting, those that do it regular I applaud you. If it’s not freezing cold, it’s raining or it’s just too damn hot and bright. We need it to be spring all year round!

Many thanks to zee and her patience.

Do we think shooting through a ring light should have stayed in 2012.

The red hair, black @honeybirdette , vampire fangs and those nails, and this is just how she goes to the shops to get some milk!

Someone who clearly didn’t skip the gym

I’d love to get more muscle in the portfolio, male or female, the nerd in me just loves the way light cascades across.

Black sequins in broad daylight……..

Yeah, we went there.

The building does a lot of the heavy lifting at Middleton, all that weathered timber framing and old stone, but there’s something about putting something bold and dark against it. The contrast between the dress and that bleached out wall behind is one of those things that either works or it really doesn’t. I think it worked.

The light that evening was strong sun coming in from the side giving Tegan that rim light along her shoulder and hair, with a touch of flash fill to keep her face clean and present.

Was macht man, wenn man sonntags Langeweile hat? Genau – ein Shooting im Wohnzimmer! 📸

Nein, dafür braucht man kein fancy Fotostudio. Eine Kamera, ein Blitz und los geht’s.

Lasst euch nicht vom Equipment aufhalten. Arbeitet mit dem, was ihr habt. Es muss nicht immer die neueste oder teuerste Kamera oder Linse sein. Equipment macht euch nicht besser – Routine tut es.

Learning by doing! 💪
