With this photo session, we wanted to expand Sarah’s portfolio – so I left it entirely up to her.

With clients’ photo sessions, I do give recommendations. Same when I use models, although I leave it up to them as well. Most models have a good selection of clothes.

For example, with these photo sessions of Ulorin Vex, I relied on her for her choice in clothing, since she has such an unusual wardrobe.

Here’s another two quick questions:
1.Do you provide recommendations for the wardrobe which models bring or it’s just up to the model?
2.For a chosen location, is it your call to decide the specific wardrobe or it’s also just up to the model?

Thanks.

I have a big red soccer-dad van, and Sarah changed in the van as necessary.

My assistant on the day carried my lighting equipment and handled the video camera.

These questions really make me feel tied up. Give me some tips.

Thanks, you great Neil.

Artur .. thanks!

Yes, I did use a 24×32 softbox in the amusement park, similar as described in this thread.

And the lenses I used where the 24-70 and 70-200, as mentioned elsewhere here.

Renee … Photoshop fairy dust is my description for the combination of filters / add-ons / actions and things I do to an image to sweeten it a little bit.

I’ll post more about it with a future blog posting here.
