With Kellie I tried to mix it up, I had take some shots of her standing,
sitting, leaning up and back against the arched wall, all in all it was
a good variety of poses.
The next model, Brenda, caught me a bit off-guard. She came out
(as it appeared) wearing nothing but a white cotton sheet (she had jeans
on underneath.) Lindsey wanted some back shots of
her and some were to be in black and white. I started with her
sitting in the chair. I put up a white back drop behind her,
clamping it to the rod iron gate behind her. I took some nice
upper torso photos this way. The sheet wasn't really working so I
removed it (the back drop that is) so the background would be the dark
rod iron gate. I knew it would make a nice dark contrasting
background, and the decorative iron gate would make a nice design.
I then had Brenda sit facing backward in the chair and lowered the sheet
just above the line of her jeans, in the first shots I did not notice
this, but realized I needed to make sure it dropped as low as possible
to bring out the curvature of her back. So I took a number of
these photos having Brenda move her back in various ways.
It turns out the best shot was one of her with her back straight at me
and her head facing away. This was among the last shots I
took of her and I had the lighting arranged perfectly. These
photos would make nice studies for an artist.
Next up was Shirley. Shirley is a petite, dark-haired teenage girl
and was dressed for her homecoming dance (she kind of looks like Natalie
Portman). She had a really cute
smile displaying her braces. I was to get some full length shots of her
by the rod iron gate. The full length shots were a bit of a
challenge due to the tight working area. I decided to switch from
my standard 80mm AF lens to a manual 45mm wide angle, it worked for the
full length framing, it was required because the digital back cuts off a
fair amount of the field of view. I only took a few of these
photos because the manual focus of the lens is extremely difficult to
focus in low-light conditions. I am going to invest in some sort
of studio light that I can turn on while focusing. The mono-lights
have a modeling light, but it is too dim to be of much use. But
the photos by the iron gate looked interesting, you cannot really see
the hallway in the background because it fades to black, so it looks
like an exterior gate at night. After that
I had Shirley pose in interesting poses, I had her pose in uncomfortable
angles, but they make good portrait poses. For example I would
have her sit with her hips and legs facing one direction and her head
and shoulders facing the opposite. It's un-natural, but looks good
in photos.
