Well, tonight I decided to take pictures of a real life model! (I've got the best looking model living with me, so trying to find one wasn't too hard).
I had an idea of a picture that I wanted to take but wasn't sure exactly how to do it. I knew I needed the room dark and just needed one single light off to the side to luminate the subject.
So, I got a lamp set up, but the light was way too bright. I tried a few things to diffuse the light (without a proper light box and stand, a desk lamp and a few t-shirts works out pretty well) and got that right, but the pictures weren't coming out the way I had hoped. I was trying to pose Paige the way I wanted, but it just didn't come out looking natural and that's when her inner model took over.
She started moving her head around, shifting positions and looking in different directions and leaning into or away from the light. It looked like it was coming very natural for her (must be from watching so many episodes of "Next Top Model")
So, after a few minutes of shooting, we had several pictures that ended up coming out great.
Thanks again to Paige for being patient and for helping me out!
Let me know what you think.
