A First Time Model

Jayde's a recent arrival at work. Petite, vibrant and really rather mad. Also easy to talk to and a really nice person too. But took a little convincing to pose for me.

Shots were taken right outside of work. Set up was A6000, Sigma 60mm f2.8, Godox TT685s and X1Ts for high speed synch off camera. Small octabox.

Great shots

You are a good photographer, because I can't tell it was her first time posing, so to make her at ease and pose like that is a good job - apart from taking the photos

Thanks Siren. She's a friend too, so helps to put her at ease. Jayde trained as a dancer, so can't hurt with direction.

Excellent!

Thanks CS. I've offered to do a mother and son shoot for her too. Helps my portfolio!

The last shot is very nice, cool image and mood.

I need to practice my portraiture!

Thanks Pete, even though I love Jade's red hair, had to be mono! I need to drum up some models now!

Nice shots.

Next I'll be asking strangers to pose!

Nice work sir! When I was doing work with models, I had an account on model mayhem. There are models, photographers, makeup artists, wardrobe stylists, and re-touchers from all over the world there. There are quite a few models willing to work TFP for portfolios.
May be worth looking at for you.

Thanks chaps!

I will look at model mayhem when I look at studio hire. At the minute my shoots are wit women I know/talk to at work.

Hmmm, redhead- I predict an appearance by the_edski soon.

Redheads, you say?

Damn this life of mine, being born '79!

I'm really loving the summer vintage festivals - very photogenic ladies and the hair is invariably red!

I find them very photogenic - camera lens almost zeros in without my assistance!

Your friend Jayde looks a lot like one of my first big time crushes- she had green eyes, though.
