Colour Portraits - Shoot 9

Sooo I may have spoken too soon. Everything seemed to be going so well until it got to this shoot. I was against the clock with this one as the model was reluctant to get her photo taken I had to beg her and she literally would only let me shoot for 2 minutes as she was busy with her own work. This is understandable as she did have stuff to do and I appreciate her help but the pressure caused by having only a small period of time was terrible. I decided to try and get the light set up ready for her getting there so I used Rachel to help this saved some time but not much. 


I had the same problem when shooting this model as I did when I was doing the shoot with Melissa. She wasn't familiar with the studio and she didn't feel comfortable with it and this is so clear to see in the models body language and facial expression. This as well as the pressure from the minimal time I had caused me really to stress and panic. 

Enlargements:

If there was anything that I would be disappointed with during this project it would be this shoot. I feel like everything had gone so smoothly up until this point that I didn't expect out to go wrong at this point. If I had the time I would have gone with a different model to re-shoot the last image but time was slipping away and I needed to give myself enough time to frame my final images as one and also get it sent off to print. 

 

Because of my panic and rushing the shoot, what I k now have learned should never be done, I forgot to use the reflector to bounce light into the image and get rid of the shadows on the image. I am so angry with myself about this. So far I haven’t had to edit any of my images but I think that this is going to take some work to try and lighten up. Hopefully I can get it to a standard that I am happy with. I am really unsure as to what image I am going to choose for my final one. I am going to have to take the best I can and tweak it to get it to fit in. this again is through no fault of the models just my panic and forgetfulness.
