fun with hair

Today I had a photoshoot job with a hair salon. It was, I must say, an enormous amount of fun. :D Honestly I was a little worried because I'd never done professional *people* photography before, and so I had no idea what it was going to be like! There were some challenging aspects to it, but in only an hour and a half I managed to learn heaps, and I look forward to applying these acquired learnings to my next shoot involving people. :)

(And the model was very nice and lovely to work with, and of course gorgeous! :) )
Amazazing!! Turned out great :) so proud! :)

I like this one a lot, balanced exposure, nice pose and a fun expression, the red accent colour, your tones... oh and she's beautiful too :) Well done, hard to believe you'd have any challenges in photography ;)

Beautiful shot! Fav!

wonderful job!
April 2nd, 2012  
beautiful photo! You captured her so well, great expression, lovely lighting & tones. I would be enormously proud of an image like this, you definitely don't need to worry about having not done professional people photos!
April 2nd, 2012  
I am a hairstylist and you are so right, "hair shoots" are FUN!!! But just as you, the photographer, will critique your captures, the hair stylists will critique the hair much more than the person (model). Great JOB!!!
April 2nd, 2012  
Wow - you did great!! They must have been so happy with your work!
April 2nd, 2012  
Great job, Teresa! I'm pretty intimidated by "people" photography (other than my family) -- I'm sure your clients were thrilled with what you've done!
April 2nd, 2012  
Nice shot!!! Nice lighting....Was that all natural lighting? **I really need to get my 50mm lens so i can do shots like this as well!!! ***
April 2nd, 2012  
Beautiful!!

Beautiful!

@irabat haha I'd like to say it was all natural lighting, but it wasn't! There was natural light coming in from the side but I also had a 380EX II flash mounted on my camera bouncing (I think) upwards. :) but yes, the 50mm f/1.4 gets all that light! Such a gorgeous lens :)
April 3rd, 2012  
This is so cool!! You have created a great portrait, while allowing her hair stand out as a point of interest
