2013.08.16 Shooting Little Sister /August 16, 2013 by Mister Tom

These two shoots are of my little sister when she came to visit for the weekend.

We had some un on the swing up the hill in the morning and later on set up the studio for a quick shoot. Unfortunately due to back pain I was feeling completely exhausted at this point and I did a very bad job of directing her and getting what I wanted from the shoot - but luckily she was great at messing around and trying out news things with little prompting, if not that great at sitting still while I adjusted the lighting!

All taken with 7D, 24-70 f2.8L, studio shoot against backdrop with 3 steady lights and 1 flash on remote.

In other news - I am waking up the old SLRs for use in shoots and on projects - particularly for some street and cafe photography. My plan is to never be without a camera, and using a B&W film with a tiny lens makes a photographer far less conspicuous and also easier to approach strangers to pester them for a portrait.

That said if anyone has some film they don't need I would gladly accept all donations :)

Photos of me are taken by Lydie - who is a great little photographer!

As usual you also can view this set on Flickr
