Well, I’m finished postprocessing the photos I took of Jennifer on Wednesday, and I think the photoshoot was a success. They’re not all beautiful, and they’re not as good as I’d like them to be, but I took them my way. This is the first step toward taking the kinds of photos I’d like to take.
Some of them are just pretty-girl shots in an urban environment, like the headshot at the top, with its bricks-and-mortar background, or the beach-style backlighting above, with a shiny sea of afternoon traffic filling in for the glittering water.
Most glamour photography is either lit evenly so you can see the model, or lit only from one side, so parts of the model are hidden in her own shadow. In street photography, as in the shot above, the shadows are cast by the environment.
Finally, here’s one of my favorites, complete with urban texture and odd shadows:

Mark,
Nice shots. I work at Six Corners and it was interesting to see some professional photography done with the area as a back drop. I enjoyed it.
Thanks, it’s got some interesting angles and textures, although many of them are hard to include in this kind of shot.
Fantastic shots!
