Casual Shoot - Carol

[Ferdinand]

A friend asked me to take some photos for her, so we had a casual day out at the Japanese Tea Garden in SF and also did some shoot at her apartment.

Just these for now, more to be processed.... Hope you guys like it.

Will try to work on creating a magazine style look with all her photos when I have time.

[berto]

[cjm]

Looks like an Ad for something really cool. Maybe a Cell phone or how about a Canon Camera? Very cool pictures. Well done!

[symes]

Those are very well done. They look like shots in a magazine already...

[charlesu]

Very lovely! Lightin is soft and wraps around her wonderfully. Very well done!!

Hope to see some mroe of your work and some more of this lovely model.

[peter/c]

[Mills]

Well done. # 1 and # 3 are very nice.

[timmyquest]

As stated, the lighting is fantastic. Care sharing your setup??

[Alan B]

I love pic #3.

[DocFrankenstein]

I am curious about the setup too. Very well lit photos.

I haven't been able to achieve that look yet. Was it a soft filter?

Thanks

[jfrancho]

Lighting and color is fantastic. So is the model. Thanks.

[KevC]

Wow. Beautiful shots. Please do share the setup... :)

[HJMinard]

Wonderful! Well done, Ferdinand ... and your model is simply beautiful.

Peter you have excellent memory and yes you are correct.

She was a total stranger I bumped into at a park. She has used the photos I took of her at the park to score a modeling gig doing bridal gowns a while back.

And has come back to asked me to get some more shoot of her.

Thanks CJM those are excellent ideas, I will see if I can incorporate them into the photos once I am done with the rest of them. Stay tune.

ElleG83, berto, symes, charlesu (whos work I always admire and try to learn from), stoneylonesome, mills, timmyquest (whose work I follow closely here and also FM :) ), Alan B, DocFrankenstein, jfrancho, KevC, HJMinard,

Setup for indoor shots is very simple, 550EX on Stroboframe Pro-RL bracket with flash bouncing off the ceiling, no diffuser used as I didn't want it refecting off the office type windows.

Flash in on Manual mode full power, f/5.6 and speed 1/100s~1/125s depending on distance to subject. Pretty simple setup actually. Hope this helps. Lens is 24-70mm f/2.8 on 20D.

[pradeep1]

Photos are good. Your friend is very photogenic.

[Ferdinand]

Thanks Pradeep, you have some excellent work on your gallery too, I really enjoyed them.

[Claire]

Ferdinand,
Wow, is all I can say. I absolutely love the first and third shot. The first one makes me think of a make up advert (say Maybelline?) and the the others looked like from a fashion shoot in a women's mag. :) Great work! And gosh, she's soo cute!

[peter/c]

Peter you have excellent memory and yes you are correct.

She was a total stranger I bumped into at a park. She has used the photos I took of her at the park to score a modeling gig doing bridal gowns a while back.

And has come back to asked me to get some more shoot of her.

Thanks for the explanation Ferdinand, Who can forget a beautiful girl like that!?

[drewmk2]

I'm guessing you did a fair bit of photoshop softening to her face? Looks perfect.

[bitbytes9]

[larann78]

[Geeeyejo]

Amazing complexion this girl has... Great photos!

[icemaiden27]

I love the 3rd one...

[Michaelmjc]

The last shot looks like a really good commercial ad for a couch, or shampoo or soemthin. Looks great.

[Fer]
