This shoot was so much fun. What makes a shoot fun? Well, I’ve worked with the model before and she’s great. My favorite MUA was doing hair/makeup. And I love the client too! Which may sound like I’m kissing up but it’s true. This was just all around a really fun shoot. A really pleasant pace too.
We mostly shot catalog style on white background but even that was fun. The model is just amazing in how she moves. So natural.
This was one of the final shots we did– it was getting dark and we were shooting by the window. I had to crank up the ISO to 2500 @ 2.2, 1/80. Which is pretty damn high if you’re an old guy who learned to shoot on film! Back in film days, ISO 800 or 1600 were considered pretty damn fast. I read a magazine article recently that high ISO capacity would be the real revolution in digital and I’m starting to believe that’s true. It was much darker in reality than it looks in this photo.
