When I work with my clients, I try to provide for variety in the type and character of the pictures. I think of it as providing the client with a digital resource that they can tap into depending on their changing needs over time. It is not always possible to achieve lots of diversity, but it is always a goal. This first picture was taken in the studio,
while the second picture was taken outside just last week. Chilly, but she had a coat and we worked quickly. Most of the lighting in the second picture was natural sunlight coming through a tree, but it created some harshness across her face so I add some strobe to picture left (her right side) to soften the shadowing some. To generate a sense of stature, she was standing on top of a 4-5 foot tall wagon at 200mm to avoid the feeling of shooting upward so much.
These are just two of many great images that are very different in feeling. It was a fun session. The client was the mother and sister of the subject as they purchased a model session for her 16th birthday.
