Shoot 7 - Women's Swimwear 2

Blogger has made the last one darker than it is, and has de-sat the colours.
Love the first and 3rd shot the best. Location folio shooting is done!

Fashion Shoot 3 - Women's Spring Fashion

Technical Information (for first 3 images)
- Mobil Kit
- f/6.7 at 180th
- Ratio 1:2
- Background: zone 4 (f/6.7=correct exposure)

Aimed for a very feminine glamorous sort of
look in these shots. I wanted a natural theme so I got my model (who is also very good at hair and makeup) to use subtle tones in makeup and I told her to wear her hair natural, (knowing what it looks like natural lol). The clothing/styling
I kept simple, hence the white dress and white pearls, including on her face. These are my favourite shots, maybe my favourite location shoot so far, I particularly like the first and fourth shot. I feel myself getting more confident with lighting in that every 'look' that I've aimed for so far, I've known how to achieve technically with the lighting which is not always what I was able to do, so I'm happy that I can see myself developing. I can also see myself getting more confident in directing the model and to an extent, knowing what 'works' and what doesn't. So I am definately glad I chose to stick with fashion on location, because I really think is going to be my preferred 'type ' of photography in which I would like to shoot in the future as a profession. My ideal client would be an aspiring model, and an ideal job would be building their portfolio and giving that aspiring model different 'looks'.

Fashion Shoot 2 - Menswear

Technical Information:
- Mobil Kit
- f/13 at 180th
- Ratio 1:8
- Background: zone 3 (f/5.6=correct exposure)
- Minimal post-production (mainly colour variations)

Aimed for harsh, minimal directional lighting, hence the high lighting ratio. The pics look slightly underexposed on blogger! Can't choose which one. I think I like the first and fifth one. What do people think?
