Another day another shoot

Some shoots are easier then others and this was one of them. This makeup artist Janet had a concept for a shoot and this is one of the images we came up with.  On the technical side of things, I used (rented)  a Profoto 7a pack and a ProRing light. Which was very cool, bulky, but cool. My biggest challenge was controlling all the light in the studio space because it was so small and I could only turn down the lights so far. The background lights were spilling  over. We made the best of it. I also did some images with my beauty dish and I think I like the light a little better. I'll post some of those images later.

Free Styling...

Well it started out that I was going to do a street studio with a friend. He had invited a model, Kindra, that I worked with before. So it wasn't really a street studio but its crazy how things just kinda work out. I did some fashion style shots with Kindra that were OK, I may post some later. Back to the point I was trying to get to. After I finished up shooting Kindra and we were talking; she was horsing around, doing cart wheels and free styling. Here was one of the images from that. I've heard a saying "It's the photos between the photos" I think this was one of those times. 
On a technical note, I using a single light source (a beauty dish) and a reflector out of frame trying to fill her face in.
The day ended well ;)
