New Glass And My First Model Shoot!!

Just got my hands on a 17-40L f/4 and got the opportunity to test it out at my first model shoot! A couple of my friends agreed to do some modeling for me, and I brought along another photog friend. All photos shot using a 20D, 17-40mmL or 50mm f/1.4, 430EX, natural light and a reflector. Just learning how to use a reflector, as I have never used one before. This was all one big learning experience, for example I learned to tell models you are going an hour earlier than you are actually planning on...

Anyway, here are some of the highlights of the shoot. Tell me what you think! Comments and Criticism always appreciated.

1.

Wow I love the second one. Number five and seven are really cool also.

The others one are great also, I just really like those three. Great job. Looks like you are doing pretty good with the reflector.

Can you share the light setup on the last? Did you use an off camera flash ?
Maybe if possible you can share the light setup on this one too:

Whas it only the reflector or the flash was used?

Thanks
Andrey

very nicely done....i love them all!

nice work.. and nice processing too.. love the skin.. they look gorgeous

Pretty nice set, and looks like it was a good experience for you. I'd say though that the angle in the first one isn't appealing to me anyway...just makes them look small.

Both of those were reflector and natural lighting only.

I don't have any off camera lighting yet =[Thanks for all the positive feedback!

John,

awesome captures. 2,5,7 really stick out to my eye. Wicked awesome skills.

Nice work with all of them.. #5 and #6 is my favorites.. Thanks for sharing.

Other than #1 I like all of them with #2 being my favorite. Nice job!

Greg

Love the last one!

#2, #6 and #7 are my favorites. Have you considered cloning out the cars in the background of #6?

I really like #4 and #5. They seem to stick out to me. The rest are great in their own ways. Great job on these.

#2 and 7 for me, #4 if it was lightened up a bit more, seems like a lot of shadows in that one, her face gets lost. But I like the pose and how the light falls.

these are wonderful, #2 and #7 are amazing. great use of such a wide lens, i have trouble from time to time on model shoots making the 17-40 work, and you did a great job

#2 is amazing
