The overhead costs of conducting a photo shoot.

You probably have noticed the shameless plug for donations on the right side of the screen. I keep this blog up for fun and I enjoy posting as often as I can, in fact sometimes when I photograph a model I shoot an extra hour or so to play around and get photos for this blog. I don’t make money of this blog, its more of an “outlet” for me from my daily life. And its something I want to continue to do. But sometimes it does add a little more time and costs. As many of you know a photo shoot can consist of studio costs, prep time, purchasing or renting equipment. And that is only if the model is working for free. This is one of the reasons why I like to use amateur models. I often don’t pay them but I do trade their time for photos, meaning I have to create and work on photos and I pay them with that or a small financial fee. Either way, it involves costs.

This will be the only post where I talk about the donation, I don’t like to talk about money, I like to talk about photography! So if you can now or sometime in the future, I will be greatly appreciative and know that the ones benefiting will be the models and you!

Always learning…

I really love the pose I had this model in, but I kick myself about the lighting. I didn’t do the lighting correctly! Oh well! This was a while back, about 4 years ago. I was looking for a specific picture and came across this one and I always remember how I messed up on it. Lesson learned.

The color red.

This lovely model sitting next to a window looked awesome in this bright red lingerie outfit. Even though it was taken during a break, I shot a few candid pictures of her just sitting there. Didn’t use the studio lights, I used the on camera flash, which is what I had available at the time. I was pleasantly surprised at the colors!

Something to get us through this recession!

So this week we were all told its official, the US is in a recession. Like most of us didn’t already know! Well, I know its a stressful time out there for everyone, so check back here often, I’ll try to lighten everybody’s day with a little picture update!

Here is one of our favorite blonds showing us why we need to focus on the future…it has to get better!

Pose, pose, pose...thats the name of the game!

When I do a photo shoot, I try to pose the model in various positions. In this shoot I wanted to capture Lisa showing me her best angle, so I had her pose in different ways and shooting multiple shots of minor movements. I made sure I captured as many poses of her standing, which not only showcased her slender figure, but also those long legs!

Lisa is a tall thin blond with a great pair of legs and a nice fit tush, so I had her wear this red top with a black lace panties. The red high heel shoes finished up her outfit and gave those calves some shape. With a solid black backdrop, it allowed me to focus much of the attention to her legs.

With subtle poses, turning in a 360 degrees, what better way to photograph a beautiful lady? I don’t know about you, but I’m glad I became a photographer!
