Arabella photo shoot warm-up (video)

Before shooting nude, the model and I warm up with some clothed shots. Here is Arabella acclimating in a bikini. She was a very natural and comfortable model.

Here are a few seconds of 1080p HD video of her modeling during this warm-up phase.

This model is originally from Georgia, but came here for school. This was her first photo shoot, and we had a great shoot.

(sorry, no nudity in this particular video.)

Lauren, ironing in the nude

Model: Lauren

Background paper: thunder grey

Light 1: striplight (17×58”) 300 WS; camera right, slightly behind model

Light 2: 24×24 softbox with grid, camera left, 300 WS

Light 3: 7” reflector, sock, grid; 150 WS, camera left; 9 feet high, behind pointed back and down at model

Light 4: 7” reflector, sock, grid; 150 WS, 3 feet high, behind model, pointed at leg

In the second shot I think the camera angle works better. I also like the angle of her head better. I wanted thing all leading you towards the iron (hard to do when there is a beautiful nude to look at.) I think I need to find a larger and more colorful iron to make this shot sufficiently quirky. I also would have liked to have wrapped the cord around the leg a few times to make it a design element where it crosses the leg.

Photoshoot with Arabella

Arabella and I started shooting around 3:30 and we finished just before 8 in the evening. This was our first shoot together and we came up with about 900 shots (not all of them winners obviously; what I lack in talent I attempt to make up in volume.) We did about 7 themes/outfits and on a white background and a red one. Here are a few shots that I picked out.
