Natural Light and Trips OS
Today I shot a model who was traveling Australia from Canada. She was telling me about all these amazing places she has visited around the world, it really made me get itchy(er) feet. I'm supposed to be going to Japan in a month or so, but that's just going to be a couple-of-week thing. I'd like to travel around alone and just hang out, take some time see some different things, I'm not talking any "spiritual journey to India" kinda thing, just spending some time alone exploring. A good friend of mine has done it a few times now and her tales make me turn green. Canada sounded pretty good, once I got passed the idea of bears. So does Cuba and Puerto Rico.
The shoot today was good, but the lighting set up was a bit bland, I'm getting bored with the same old techniques. I'm trying to learn a different way of lighting, the way Corrine Day lights blows my mind, it looks so natural (I'm only guessing it isn't) I have been experimenting but I still have a long way to go, I tried today but it wasn't working. I've been told its like painting with light, so I'm looking forward to picking some stuff up from a photographer/teacher friend of mine.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I'm shooting model Krystal (who is stunning!) in a style I have been thinking of for a while, a field, wind, rain... of course this may all change tomorrow when the sun is shining(blah!). Although my last shoot with Krystal went well, I shot her on an overcast day at sunset, it made for some stunning light. (below)
