Trained yet?

I do not know what to call this post, shot this i think two weeks ago for a models port. This image is still in progress, meaning I am still retouching it but i felt like putting it up. Like all commerical images it's it will never really be complete without the right text, we are trained that way i guess without the right text, its not really right, you can look at it, but something seems off. So you just have to love advertising from a young age we are trained, I should know, fashion ads are the reason I picked up a camera in the first place.

Fashion Week

Love fashion week, so much planned for one week, tons of shoes which take months to plan for 15 minutes, got to love it. I do not like winter fashion week, no interest in it, but summer and fall fashion week when the weather is amazing, got to love every second of it, people dress better and the atmosphere is better, love it, love the access, love the parties!

Shooting in the Late Fall and Winter Months

I love shooting this time of year the natural light from the sun is usually perfect. The morning and sunset sun brings colors that are a dream to capture, and the best part is that it is cold and neither you nor the subject need to worry about sweating. The make up stays on everything is usually perfect shoot wise. Now the downfall is battery on your camera or pack is sometimes cut in half but that is why you plan ahead and bring spares.

The picture to my left is one that I took in the late fall with my Canon AE-1 with Kodak HD film in the early morning. The colors in this pictures almost bring a tear to my eye I love the colors, this whole set had brilliant colors. This Christmas and new years I will hopefully be spending in London and I cannot wait to do a couple of shoots there, if there is enough time I hope to jump on a train to Paris, even if it is just for one day ;-)
