October 04, 2008:
Photo Shoot at Lindsey's
Well, I was not sure what to expect, so I brought everything just in
case.
I had my two Mamiya cameras (actually a third one I just use to hold an
extra back). I also brought my complete portable light studio, two
softboxes, and umbrella light and a reflector. Next time I can
travel a little lighter.
The photo-shoot was in La Canada, California. This was the first
time I had ever been there and I was impressed. It's amazing to
see these hidden, beautiful, older Los Angeles communities. I met
Lindsey who is a makeup artist here in Los Angeles. She set up
about five different models for me to photograph. These photos
were to be used in her web-site to promote her make-up business.
We both arrived at her parent's house at the same time and shortly the
models arrived.
While Lindsey was working on the models, I took some time to scout the
location. The house was a beautiful Italian style home with a
classical interior. The exterior was made of a nice garden-like backyard
and patio (there was suppose to be a pool, but I did not see it).
There was plenty of greenery for nice backgrounds.
The weather had changed dramatically that day, from total sunshine and
three digit heat to clouds and rain. The weather, I knew would be
a challenge. I would need to do some outside photos and indoor
photos as well. For now I would set up my command post at the edge
of the patio, close to some umbrella covered tables, just in case.
While the weather permitted, I set up my heavy Bogen tripod on the patio
next to a fountain. I panicked a little when I was looking for a
power source and discovered the house had older two pronged outlets!
Luckily, Lindsey guided me to a lone modernized outlet that would work.
Next time I will be sure to bring a converter plug, just in case.
I guess that goes to show you can't anticipate everything.
Lindsey had requested mostly head-shots for her models and some upper
torso shots. Based on that request, my lens of choice was my 150
mm 2.8 telephoto and I also added my 145 soft focus lens.
