Fashion Shoot with Jeannie

I'd like to introduce to you all Jeannie. Jeannie answered a casting call that I had placed on Model Mayhem a couple of weeks ago. She is a local spokes model who was looking to add more shots to her portfolio. We met on a day when the weather was questionable at best. We had had scattered showers the last few days and as I was driving downtown to meet here, there was nothing but black clouds coming over the mountain. I almost called to reschedule but I figured we would give it a shot. Thankfully, the weather held long enough for us to shoot (it literally started to finally rain as I was walking to my car to head home). The clouds actually did a great job of softening up the light some too.

Most of the shots here took place at and around the Pioneer Museum downtown. I saw the giant paperclip (yes that's a Giant Paper Clip) and wanted to use it. After we shot there, we wondered around and stumbled on a few other really cool areas. Once we shot there we were looking for somewhere else to shoot at. Before we met, I found an alley way that looked kind of cool. When we finally walked down it we saw this awesome garage door that made an amazing background.

One other great part of about this trip, was it was the first time that I had tried using my flash (only a little SB-600 for right now) with a model. We used it primarily in the alley way, but I like the way it turned out. Thanks Jeannie for dealing with me while I was constantly messing with it and changing settings trying to get it to work the way I wanted it to. Since I am still to cheap to go out and buy a wireless trigger for it, we were using my heavily modified (I need to post an article on this sometime) off camera synch cable (connected with a piece of CAT5 cable) to get the flash in position). All and all, we both had a great time shooting. I think the pictures came out very good and I can't wait to work with her again.

Please make sure you check out the entire session on my Flick page.
