Ta-Da! Shooting Sundays... a sampler

As i previously posted I'm collaborating with some friends on Sundays to get the creative juices flowing, and to get/stay/be inspired. We started off today without a plan or direction and the results were fantastic! I've only got a sampling of two pics to share for now as the rest are being processed. Derrick was kind enough to process one of me ( i was not the model, I do behind the scenes stuff - styling/makeup/direction/etc - and supposed to be learning photography) right off the bat, I was standing in to get the lighting figured out.



This was the last set of the day. Amazing how one's apartment transforms when you cover the floor with records. They added a lot of color and interest and kept the background really busy. We had Jill in a simple white tank top and denim, then added some props. I can't wait to show you the end results with the real model standing in. As it is, i think I'll frame this one for my parents - they like that kinda thing.





And here's the real star of the show - Jill really worked the camera, and considering she'd rather be behind the scenes than the star of the show she absolutely rocked it. She has incredible bone structure and the contrast of the dark hair and her light skin were so fun to work with. This set we had the most fun with - this is the kind of makeup i really REALLY love doing. Working with a minimal background (which i realize is not visible in this shot - just wait!) and simple clothes that offered a great silhouette really allowed us to have some fun with the makeup and hair. The chunky bracelet also really added a lot of texture to the whole thing.




Let me know your thoughts, stay tuned over the next couple of days for a few more pics.
