I have never been at a photoshoot with so many other cameras, but it was really fun. It's always nice to see other people's shooting, posing, and interacting styles. So much of photographing people is making them feel comfortable and helping them to open up and be vulnerable in front of the camera. It was also amusing to note how we all were still nervous about having our pictures taken! Some things are universal.
Here are a few of the photos I ended up with. I mostly used the Lensbaby composer with the Edge 80 on it. It's a combination I've used a lot in my personal shooting, but I haven't pulled it out in portrait situations much because it's a little slower to shoot with as it's manual focus. But actually it was easier than I thought and I'm really happy with the results I got!
Thanks so much Desiree and Dan for a great time! I always love meeting up and geeking out with other photographers. Who else will discuss f-stops and fill light ad infinitum with me?
