Lashes

Once you start shooting models simple things become a big deal.  Take great eyelashes for example. Great full bottom lashes are especially hard to come by and Andi has them to spare.  Andi’s a great test model because she can do her own makeup.  She definitely has a preference on how she wears her hair […]

It’s still hot and humid in Michigan and I had a comp card shoot today.  Driving around the studio I knew I had to find shade.  When Sarah showed me this sweet little dress I thought it would be perfect for this location. This shot of Sarah is an important part of a comp card […]

Showing Too Much

July 18, 2010

I took at look at a website today and it was all over the place (i’ve seen much worse those).   I see photographers that are just starting out that have portfolios that are just too diverse. You can’t be an expert in everything, you can hardly be proficient at one thing when starting out. […]

Sometimes it pays not to get what you ask for.  I was shooting a comp card with a female model in the left image location.  The location is Birmingham which is a big dog walking community, the shops leave  fancy and fun water bowls on the sidewalks for them.  It’s a beautiful boutique style downtown […]

I always shoot my “headshot” first.  I put that in the can,  covered.  But I’m always thinking headshot even during subsequent looks.  This shot of Anthony was actually the third and last look of the day.  I have to say I prefer this image over my intended headshot. Anthony didn’t need time to warm up […]

Today was the first day I did a “so called” quickie two look shoot.  I wish I could say it was a quickie but it wasn’t and probably never will be.  I priced it as a quickie but didn’t shoot it as a quickie…I guess I’m just not a quickie kind of girl. I just […]

Model Testing

Thumbnail image for Model Testing

Todays post is in response to Aurora V Photography inquiring about how I test with models. She mentioned there is not much online, but I do know it’s a hotly debated topic on Model Mayhem. For anyone who cares; I pick out all the images myself, I don’t offer the models choices.  I fully retouch […]

Playing Outside

Thumbnail image for Playing Outside

I haven’t tested in forever.  I’ve taken the last 3 months off from testing to start this blog and learn a few new software programs like Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Power Point, Direct Mail, WordPress ect…  It’s been a long hard road with a lot of sitting. I normally test pretty much every week and I need […]
