Shooting Emily was really great and quite the learning experience. If I hadn’t been ready to roll over and die from the Mexican we just ate it would have been even better. As it is, please, visit the Rocking Horse Cafe because it is excellent. Just don’t make any plans to be active for the rest of your day. Emily has endless energy and is able to mimic the perky FOB Asian Chick any time of the day or night!
One thing about shooting people as opposed to buildings is that they move. This is both a good and a bad thing, mainly bad for me because I feel like a fish completely out of water when 10 unfamiliar things are happening at once. I keep hunting for resources and feedback but so far have not been able to find any reliable guidance, so I wing it for now.
- Very large glass buildings that reflect light = Good
- Experienced sexy model = Good
- Warm sunlight = Good
- Pedestrians = Bad
- Boiling heat = Bad
- Realizing what you should have done differently after you get home and download the photos = Really bad
One day I’ll get it, and what I come home with will reflect my actual artistic intent. You’ll see.
