Studio Session

For my City & Guilds Level 3 course in Photography, I have chosen as one of my projects to do portraits. I chose to do portraits as it's something well out of my comfort zone but something I really would like to get into. For the course I need to produce at least 10 photographs, so I'm planning on taking two shots of each person - a formal studio shot and a relaxed candid type shot (of course meaning I need at least 5 willing people). My first shoot was in the studio last week with Jon, Gideon and Adam. I brought a few props with me (a football and a few hats) and the studio itself was equipped with a few bits & bobs to keep ideas going and amusement levels up, Jon & Gids even brought wardrobe changes! Many thanks to the guys as I think I would have floundered badly if I'd had to do a lot of directing myself. I learnt a lot from this shoot, especially around the ideas and planning I need to do myself in future. I've got started on the processing tonight and it should keep me busy for a few weeks yet (managed to take around 150 photos!)






The rest of the photos can be found here (more will be added in future).
