Dream of flying

It's been a while since I've done any shoots just for fun. Been preoccupied with a lot of non photography related stuff. Anyways, happy new year everyone. Even though it's now March! It's been a good year so far. Last week happened to be the first time I got to relax a little and do some creative work.

I sent Tatyana a text, whom I knew wanted one last shoot before she heads off to Australia. She's trying to get into Med School over there so good luck Tatyana. She also found the location, did the styling and managed to get Sarah McCarthy on board as the MUA and her new hairdo was done by Claire Ambrose.

We didn't have much sun for the day. At least it stayed dry for most of the day. But we got plenty of wind and it was a chilly day. The wind meant it was difficult to set up lights with large modifiers on it. Like a large octabox for example. Even with Sarah holding the lights on a monopod, it was impossible not to get the lights blown away. So when we shot outside the hangar, I used a beauty dish and snooted flash instead. When inside the hangar, I wanted to accentuated shadow and highlight, again I used snooted and grids, eschewing any large light modifiers.

Anyways, check out the photos, hope you like them. Click on the images for a larger version.
