A lot of my work isn’t shot in the studio, and though I really do have a good understanding of light in ambient environments, I can be a little bit nervous when shooting in a studio environment, just because I don’t get that much practice. I also primarily shoot women. So, in a double whammy, today I was shooting in a very nice studio setting, and also photographing a guy. I was pretty nervous this morning but I have Doug to thank for his invaluable advice and confidence, and I came out feeling really proud and positive with my understanding of light, and also feeling stupid for always feeling this odd fear of working with male models. So, in my attempt to break down these barriers, I’m going to try and focus more on shooting with men. They will probably be shot in this same space, with similar lighting, just for a sense of continuity without distraction. Anyway, it was so nice to be doing something a little different, ‘cleaner’, even… I’d appreciate your feedback!
Model is Ben
