Model Shoot with Afterdarc.net

This was one of my amateur photo shoots. You have the hot girl, the music, the videographer, the lighting, and of course me: the photographer. This was a test shoot for me to experiment with lighting techniques, practice posing a model, and pretend that I know what I am doing. In the end, I was pretty successful.

I set up a 12-foot wide, black seamless and rolled it out 30 feet. For those of you who don’t know what I am talking about, a really big backdrop basically! The other sets I had were the gray textured concrete wall, a white wall, an imitation of a VIP booth, and the hardwood floor. Those were the sets we used for the day. My weapon of choice was Nikon D70 with a 12-24mm wide-angle lens tethered to a dual screen MacBook. My lighting other than natural light was a Pro 7a pack and a Pro 7a head attached to a big Elenchrome (looks like a softbox but isn’t) which creates a warm and smooth skin tone to anyone that’s in front of it.

I hired a videographer to document this event because I wanted a sample of the shooting I do at the L.A. Lofts in Hollywood. The video turned out great thanks to Hypnotic Films.

Here is the video from the shoot:
