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:

Genesis Test Shoot

My friend, Genesis agreed to pose for a test shoot so I could do an assignment for Peter to give me photo advice and to teach me how to process RAW photos with the program Capture One Pro. It was shot at the L.A. Lofts, Loft 1.
