The First Photo Shoot - Nude

The First Shoot - 29th March

This first shoot was originally going to be the White background shoot but we were running quite late in the day so therefore went for the black because it is easiest to do.  We managed to fir quite a lot into the hour session and range from standing up an lots of different positions to holding different materials and even to laying down on the floor.  I am really happy with how this first shoot went.  It took me a while to get the lighting right and on a couple of these I am not happy with the lighting, but for my first time I think they went really well, I kept taking images, turning them black and white and showing my client so she could get a feel of what they were looking like, to make sure she was happy with the way it was working.  At first she had under wear on but then went to Nude which looks very elegant. 

I personally like the images when there is no cloth or drape and she is posing nude with one leg bent in front, I think where the light is give s nice shine to the baby bump.  But once we tried using the drape, it looked great so we took quite a few with it. I tried pulling back the drape to different positions and changing the light source placement throughout the shoot.  Right at the end we tried some laying down images but I couldn't seem to get the lighting right, with more practice shoots, next time I should get it right. I am very happy with the first shoot and have already shown my client and will get her to send me her favourites from this shoot so that I can edit them for her.  I now look forward to the second shoot because it will involve the small shoes and toys.
