The photo shoot was good!

The photoshoot was good ( see preparing for a photo shoot ) and I have several different looks with good pictures from each look. No time to work on them all with Christmas coming up but they are in the can, as they say in the film industry. Candy Wai was the make up artist and she has done a good job. I look forward to working with her again. Maybe next time on one of her ideas. And the model Catlyn is a joy to work with, so yes there is a lot involved in putting together a studio shoot but then the results can make it all worth it.
Preparing for a photoshoot.

Straight forward enough, you would think but in reality there is so much to do. When am I available? Can I book a model for the shoot and when I have a model lined up can I book a make up artist. Three of us available at the same time, now make sure we are all on the same page. We all know what we are trying to achieve. What the theme of the shoot is. Send the make up artist pictures of the model so she can develop ideas and start working out how she is going to reach the desired results.
Pull the clothing together. The model is supplying the shoes to go with clothes she has never seen. Have clips and pins the make sure the clothes can at least be made to look like they fit. And now the props, creating the story, now work out the lighting.
Ok, charge the camera battery and while that is happening update the computers virus checker and make sure that windows is up to date. You don’t want virus scans or updates slowing you down as you upload pictures from your cards. Cards, make sure the cards are there and ready to go. Check the camera………
I’m shooting tomorrow, it is time to get back to work or I’ll never be ready on time. Maybe some new pictures here soon!
Models Wanted!

I am always interested in hearing from new models and make-up artist too. I always have personal projects in mind and test shoots to try new ideas or techniques. I am willing to work time for prints on occasion with certain models. You will get high quality prints for your portfolio or web ready jpeg files in return for your time and a signed model release form. If I feel a model has genuine prospects in the modeling world I will do what I can to promote them and point them in the right direction.
The Make Up Artist!

Before
After
Never underestimate the value of a good make up artist. Many photographers behave as if they have been stuck with a younger sibling for the day. When all they want is to go out and play. But make up is so much more than just a lick of paint.
Yes the application of make up will enhance the look of any young women, but it is so much more than this. As a model sees the look they are trying to achieve develop, she begins to feel glamorous. She feels pampered and special, her confidence begins to grow.
By the time she is ready for the shoot the hardest part of your work is done. If you are ready with your camera and can take control of the lighting, you are well on your way toward a successful shoot.
Never forget to credit the make up artist for her part in the shoot. If you are paying her fine, but don’t be slow in giving her a copy of your best shot of the day. If you put your name on the bottom of the picture and she adds it to her portfolio, many other potential models will see your work.
Also add a sample of her work on your web site along with a link to her site. Then ask her to do the same for you, it builds traffic for both of you.
Lenny’s make up was created by Racquel Lacson.
