Nicole in Bear Mountain

Did a super cold portrait shoot with Nicole.

It was very challenging to shoot in the freezing cold and would have liked a little bit of sun to play with but what can ya do.

Would appreciate some critique on posing/lighting/compos​ition.

I love the B&W conversions. Great job with them!

Great vintage look, fits the photos well. Good work.

The creativity side and your skill with the camera is showing here. Nice moods, DOF, Focus, framing and composition, lighting is good. Your B/W's are very good.

Thanks! Model was great to work with and looking forward to doing another shoot with her when it gets warmer.

sweet love the boots

Very nice set of image.
Is location Bear Mountain of Cali? We usually have more that 300 days of sun shine with or without snow. I guess this is a different Bear.

Nice set!

Thanks - this one is Bear Mountain in upstate New York

I wanted to hike up a trail to have a great view but it rained the day before and the trails were a bit muddy...next time!

very nice work... love them...

Love this look and the post processing. Especially the B&W. Can you give some detail around the set up and lighting?

Thanks - the set up isn't anything crazy.

The photos either have:
one softbox on one side and a bare flash on the other
one softbox on one side and a reflector on the other
or
one softbox only

I had two speedlites inside the softbox (bungee cord since my multi-speedlite bracket didn't come in time) but i found it was unnecessary since it was cloudy and didn't need that much power to overpower the sun.

The outfits where she is wearing a white tank top and suspenders, those are just with one softbox only.

Hope that helps!
