Studio Portrait - Christy Yan (7-Jun-2010)

(1/5) > >>

chin:
This was the first I took pictures in a photo studio. This was also the first time I have a semi-profession model pose for me.

It was an interesting experience, because the lighting condition is about as perfect as I can get. So technically many pictures went well. But the major challenge of studio portrait is to find interesting compositions or moments. Since there is no background to add any interest to the picture, it's tough to get interesting shots.

The model Christy did make lots of different poses, but many moves were just too "artificial" (for the lack of better word.)

chin:
She was very professional. Before I figure out how the lighting works, she just stepped up to the white background sheet, and started to pose.

There were 4 of us, and somehow she figured out quickly who was about to press the shutter, and would look into the lens.

chin:
Out of the 4 of us, oo8 and I were first time in a photo studio. We were not very sure what's acceptable, whether we should make request for any particular pose, etc...

So after perhaps 15 min of very quiet shooting, we were kind of bored with Christy just changing poses. Then one of our friends who had done this few time before started to looking for props. And asked her to use the props to add interest and different elements to the portrait.

chin:
Besides props, Christy untied her hair, and added some more "diversity" to the pose.  ;D

chin:
Before more pictures of Christy, here is how it looked on site.
