Pre-Shoot
This is the first of a series of shoot I have lined up with an up and coming Makeup Artist (MUA)/ Hairstylist. Her name is Ninfa Hernandez and can be reached at nhernandez003@yahoo.com.
Shoot took place around Noon at Tania's house (the model's). I wasn't too thrilled at first before the shoot due to the fact I hadn't met the model (typically i like to meet the models and get to know them before the shoot so we are both comfortable working together.) Surprisingly enough we had a great time. She asked if she can have a few drinks before we started to take the edge off. This works great if your dealing with an older model that knows how to drink and wont get more then a bit tipsy during the shoot.
Shooting
All together the shoot took about 45mins to and hour including setup time and cleanup. I like to show up after hair and makeup are finished, this saves me wasting time. During the last few finishing touches on the model I briefly scouted the area for props, lighting, and location. I feel in love with a wall and a decoration hanging in the living room. This room was perfect due to the lighting coming in through the window, i only need to use my 580 ex II speed-lite flash bounced off the umbrella at low power for fill flash.
Conclusion
Thanks to Ninfa's amazing work my post work has been quick and painless. Plans have be mentioned but not talked about in details about shooting with that model again and I am really looking foward to it she was great.
