In Studio with Models

Today in our photo workshop we worked with models in the studio. I filled up two memory cards!  One thing I realize is I take the pictures too quick, when I was on the strobe I was taking shots before the strobe was fully recharged. It was fun but tiring. I have to pick 6 to bring in next week. Here are a few so far I like.

Matt

We were lucky to have the opportunity to photograph Matt in the studio last night for our model evening. I have to say that he is awesome at creating a believable character. Here I was trying to create the era of Oliver Twist. I love the look, to me it creates the mood and kicks my imagination into high gear. Thanks Matt.

Black and White Photography

I have been trying lately to take some black and white pictures.. but most of them turned out grey (no subject or color really stand out in the picture, no bright white or dark black. Would you have any tips for me (any tips you may have for BW photography would be much appreciated). Could we get nice black and white pictures directly from the camera (I have a nikon D80). Sorry if my question seem very basic... i am still in the learning process... a! thanks! Julie

Studio Class at Syx's

Just sharing some photos from our studio class that took place a few weeks ago. It was great having the opportunity to shoot such uniquely different models.

Purple Fringe

I'm noticing that several of my images have this purple or blue fringe. Is there some technique to avoid this.

Thanks ..... Nancy
