Random Old Shot

Found it while backing up my back ups. Not the best quality due to shit glass, but I like it.

The Never Ending Search for Models and Recent Shoot

God I hate looking for models. Im sure if I wasnt so picky, it would be a lot easier. Now, I am in no position to be look specific, but I am. They have to have a certain look. If they are boring, Im sure my shots will be boring. Once I find interesting people, convincing them is a whole new ball game. Getting to know them is yet another process in it own. Hopefully when we have a consultation, we both make an impression on each other. Its no fun shooting with people if they/you arent comfortable. Then comes the actual shoot. Everything is on me. My main weakness, telling the model what to do. I hate it, unless you are working with an actuall model its a pain. Im not one to be satisfied with a forced or posed look. I like it when they look natural and if I dont even exist. I usually tell the subject to just act naturally. If they need help going for a certain look, I do it myself so they can see what I mean. Usually works fine and I get a laugh out of them. Luckily my last shoot, my friend Marisa modeled for me. And her boyfriend Jon was awesome to let me use his work's studio and equipment. To think I turned down using a D2x, but thats a whole 'nother post.

Here are some of the shots I selected and liked.










The client was happy with the shots. This shoot was a first for me with working with a 3rd person. Learned a few things, became a lil bit more professional, and had a great time even through some of the problems along the way. One new successful client I can add to my contacts.
