so far this spring this was the first full week of no rain and great tempts which made for a busy time. One of my shoots was a Senior Portrait session with Katie. We choose the Town Square of Springfield to get a little of the old town casual feel. I shot natural light, ambient plus a reflector and for some images I used a profoto 500 with a beauty dish and sock (care to guess how I lit each image?). As Always I used a Nikond5 and the lens were Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 and a Nikkor 85mm f1.8.
The sunny skies made Katies blonde hair pop and her natural beauty shine. We had a great time cruising the square and I think that comes out in her photographs.
The girl can dance (and jump and leap) so we have benn planning on shooting some of her Senior Portraits in Nashville. We had the perfect night, in the middle of the week (less crowds) so off we went. The only problem we had were the crowds she drew, but what was I thinking, beautiful young lady, high leaps, awesome kicks while being photographed, we even had some tourist from London admiring her abilities. Enough typing you look and judge for yourself.
Lydia is one of my Senior Reps (see blog post for a Senior Rep application if you want to know more or be one) and she is also a dancer. Since it is January and the outside temp are not idea for shooting, we went in to do a little shooting. I decide to play around with some ambient, strobe and slow shutter speed shots. I hope you enjoy how they turned out and as always we had a few outtakes!
