Photo shoot with models - first attempt

[Kirsten]

Yesterday was so exciting, as for the very time, I had the guts to work with real people. So far, I was only taking pictures of animals, plants, and landscapes. :-O Now my nephew (well, not my biological nephew, but this would be too complicated to explain; and he's calling my mother "Grandma") and his girlfriend agreed to have a photo shoot with me - and it was so much fun! They love this cool rockabilly look, and they did a great job modelling for me. In two hours, I took 720 pictures, here are twenty of them:

So, what do you think? I know, this is utterly different from what I'm usually doing...

I like these!

Maybe it's because of the rockabilly look they have - but the black and white pictures are the ones I prefer. It's like the colour ones capture who they are - and the B&W capture them almost as icons, representing something.

Really interesting!

You have an excellent eye for how to frame pictures. Lighting is good too.

The first three look like they could be album cover shots!

[Kirsten]

Thank you, Anne!

Karen, yes, I think they would be cool for a cd cover; especially as he's in fact playing in a band (I took some concert shots of them a while ago)

Candace, that is an interesting thought... Need to think about that, but you could be right...

I love these pictures because they weren't looking right into the camera, it was as tho you were not there. They really came out realistic and lovely. I would say your first shot with models was great.

Thank you! Yes, it was a really relaxed atmosphere, which made it much easier. I think it was a good thing that there were two of them, so they weren't so focussed on me and my camera.
