Hello all. I had a shoot last Saturday with the lovely Ms. Rachelle. Recently, I have really set out to challenge myself at each and every shoot that I do so for this shoot, my challenge for myself was three things:
-Acquire at least 5 usable images. I have so often only challenged myself to achieve one usable image from a shoot, which, as you all know, is far too few if I want to satisfy clients
-Really challenge myself to use the sun, whether it be as a main or a fill light, but really utilize it to its fullest
-Work on composing my images well before I snap the frame. This means taking it a bit slower and really taking my time to focus on what is in the frame before pushing the button
I feel like I did, at very least, a satisfactory job at accomplishing these three things. However, I didn't really get as much written feedback as I hoped on my Flickr so I'm bringing it here to you, build me up, tear me down, do whatever, just be honest and make sure if you are negative that you provide me with tips for improving what you don't like.
So anyways, here are some of the images:
