Edinburgh Zoo

This week i went to edinburgh for my girlfriends birthday. We had a great time and everything was perfect.

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go to edinburgh zoo for the first not only in so many years but since i found my love for photography. The animals were great and looked amazing. They would come right up to the windows which is great for the photography. The jaguar was a personal favourite because of how powerful it looked.

Constance Moscrop Portfolio Shoot

This weekend i have been shooting for a close friends portfolio. She wanted standard fashion shots but I wanted to add my style and my look to it.

I loved the top with detail around the neck line, it was my favourite piece because of the vintage look.

I used my 175cm octabox high and to the right of the model, this caused perfect amount of light and shadows for the photos.

She is one of the best models I've had the pleasure to work with because she understands what she wants and how to pose herself. The posing she had and brought to the table was second to none and overall looked amazing. I don't really understand why she has waited this long to get a portfolio sorted because of the high standard of modelling she produces.

Beauty Lighting

In a lecture today, we were shown a beauty lighting technique.

This required a boom arm to raise a light above the model to use as a hair light.

The magic arms in front were to push the spill light back into the models face. This creates nice catch lights in the eyes.
