Fashion Shoot // Group Portraits
The Saturday I spent in Salt Lake City doing fashion photography with my class a few weeks ago was so fun that I wanted to post some of the photos I took of the whole group! Our fashion models looked so amazing that they even make this drab car lot background look good! This photo was taken at the Salt Lake Scooter Co. hence all of the awesome scooter they are posing with! It was in the early afternoon when I snapped this photo so it was very sunny outside!
For the next several photos we were at Gardner Village in Salt Lake. It was dusk…and getting dark. So, we had an Apollo Orb set up. The lighting that you get with the apollo orb is so perfect! You can’t even tell in these photos that there is a flash! Because the orb has a screen on it, the light diffuses and is so flattering. The light is beautiful and they are not hard to set up or all that expensive. As you can see below, I had all of the fashion models pose together and then I did a few subgroups, the couples, the guys and the girls. Group portraits can be hard to organize but I feel like these groups and subgroups turned out nicely. That’s what happens when you work with beautiful people! 🙂
Of course, we ended the day by getting a big group shot of all us photographers! Such a fun group! It really has been a privileged to work with them and with our wonderful models.
Fresh Fruits and Veggies
These fresh fruits and vegetables are my favorite. I really love all food and product photography, but I think fresh produce is my favorite! Maybe that’s because they are some of my favorite foods to eat…I don’t know. Either way, I love it! I feel like the colors are always so vibrant with fresh produce. Hardly any editing is needed and they just look amazing!
All of these photos were shot using natural light. The pomegranate below is an HDR. It is a very subtle HDR…but that’s what I like about it. I didn’t want the HDR to make the pomegranate look like anything it is not. Instead, it just allowed me to bring out all of the detail that I could see with my eye and I love how it turned out. In fact, I have kind of an infatuation with pomegranates. haha “Pomegranate” in Spanish is “Granada” and in Spain there is a province and an entire city named Granada. Maybe you’ve heard of the Alhambra? That is in Granada! Anyway, I spent three months there last summer. I fell in love with that city! All over the place they have pomegranates carved and detailed into the city. They have pomegranates on the statues, laid into the cobblestones on the roads and sidewalks, everything you can think of. So, pomegranates bring good memories for me.
I hope you enjoy these fresh photos…because I sure enjoyed making them!
