Evening Modeling Session

We got to make our attempts at a little modeling session this evening in my photo class. I asked her to give me her best "sultry" look. She is not a professional model at all, but I think she could make a go of it.

Very nice portrait Ron! she has done a very good job of it and so have you! well done

[Peter]

Lovely portrait of the model, love the defused background, difficult subject to take at night with artificial lighting, great shot Ron;)

[Tatiana]

Русалка!

[Chris Johnson]

Great portrait Ron! You brought out her eyes beautifully!

[Poppo Livy]

Great portrait Ron. I tried to get my wife to pose also but she is a bit shy.

@dianeburns Thanks, Diane. My first time working with a model in such a situation. She was very good and fun to work with. I could get used to this!

[Ron]

@pcoulson Trust me, it was a shoot filled with errors and adjustments. Even our teacher was a bit out of sorts. We began with diffusers on the flash, but learned that in an evening situation like this, removing the diffuser and zooming with the flash was a much better alternative. I've got ten bad shots for every good shot from this shoot. A teaching moment, for sure.

@simta усалки действительно! Смешные! Я на самом деле есть некоторые выстрел, где она полулежал на пляже, и я помню, думая что она на самом деле выглядели как Русалка.

@cjphoto Thanks, Chris - I don't know how she was able to keep from blinking!
@terryliv Thanks, Poppo - maybe if you dressed the wife up to look like a bird she'd be more willing?

[Graham Budd]

Good balance of the ambient with the speedlight.

@stray_shooter Ummm I think you missed the subtlety of the word "also" thrown in here. The inference was that the model was your wife. Don't you hate it when a killer line misses the mark :-(
