Photos from first editorial shoot

Model: Julie Cassedy

So after figuring out WHY i couldn't get more light in my shots (my iso was too low) i decided to play again. I recently worked with a great model, Julie, on an editorial shoot that she had gone out and got an EPIC wardrobe for, so i wanted to take FULL advantage of it!!

I went out and bought a chunk of fabric from goodwill to use as a background, after getting home and REALIZING it was TOO short to do full body shots, so i made due and shot some 3 quarter.

anyways, when setting up i realized just how small of an area i had to shoot in so i was fighting with the closeness of my "light stands" (a chair, a fan, and a lamp) in which my clamp lights were attached to. Having my "assistant/boyfriend/whipping boy" constantly move my back drop which was thumb tacked into the wall UP and DOWN, and OVER, and then i had the shadow issue.. I remembered another shoot i had done and tried to remind myself to shoot AWAY from the backdrop/wall.. but hey, it's a note for next time i guess.

all in all, i'm pretty happy with these shots. first time shooting this style, and i really did enjoy it. It's very appealing to me because theres so much more envolved then "sit here, smile, turn, tilt, smile, click click click"
