Special Thanks to fellow photog Daryl Guangco for his assistance and providing our beautiful model
Kirsten's Flare
Had a chance to shoot a friend of a friend from Cagayan De Oro last weekend. Kirsten was kind as she was pretty. All photos shot at Enchanted Kingdom.
Full story and more photos after the jump
We didn't really had any idea of where to take her for the shoot. It seem's everywhere we thought of was either full of people(like Serendra and La Mesa Eco park)or does not allow professional shoots without permits (Intramuros, Baluarte de San Diego - shame on you). So we thought of the only place that allowed anything - for a small fee but further than most of our regular locations.
The challenge now was getting shots creative enough while avoiding other people and the rides in the shot. We started out with close-ups since that was the easiest, then walked around to see other prospective places.
It was nice looking for spots and we got a chance to play around(and practice) with light. The shot below was lit by two strobes, one infront and left of Kirsten and the other directly behind her pointed to the wall to give the background some texture.
This shot was lit by 2 strobes. One to Kirsten's right and infront, while the other lit's her background behind her. I intentionally showed the strobe behind her (that little black thing)so you could see the effect.
Finally this last shot was lit using the same technique on the first photo. 2 strobes: 1 to her left and in front and the other behind her and pointing at her(the first photo above had the strobe behind her pointing to the camera, obviously), This gives a different feel and effect to a normal looking environment.
All of these were thought of and planned lighting/photos. I have already visualized the shots I'll be making the day before. Only challenge was the location and the environment itself.
More to come in the next few days, including a shoot in the park and a "documentary" shoot of a wedding.
