Fashion Model Portfolio

One of my favourite ways to light the subject is 45 degrees from behind. Not only does it add liveliness without bringing attention to anything distracting on the face, but it also ends up saturating the skin tone on the face/ body due to a stop down in exposure compared to the highlight area. I found this an easy way to manage a tan skin look throughout the retouching process.

Here are some photos with lovely model Anneliese from Anitanorris models.
Thank you to my awesome teammates as always :)

Fashion Model Headshots Photography

I was thinking about changing the way I depict shadows lately. With that intention in mind, I set up a session in attempt to try out a new method in the studio.
I built up the lighting from a low key standpoint so that afterwards in post process, the shadow information remained in the mid tone range, making it possible to show plenty of details.

Here are my favourite shots from the session. Thank you as always to my awesome team mates :)

Model Headshot Photography

The other day I set up another fashion shoot in my studio. This time I arranged the lighting to present a less polished and sophisticated look, all the while keeping the impression clean enough to still be visually appealing. My reasoning behind doing so was to create a less stimulating (or in other words—less of a “studio look”) in attempt to achieve an organic feeling. I will keep my blog updated with different types of future lighting set ups.

Thank you as always to my awesome team mates and best wishes to the model, Liz, for an awesome career in modelling that awaits her.

Fashion Photography Model Portrait

My teammates and I met up for another studio session the other day.
This time around, I set up the lighting to emphasize the shadows. All the while I keep things feeling natural with certain flatness I incorporated as opposed to making it punchy and full of contrast (which would give it that “studio look”).
We worked with Elena from Elmer Olsen Models.
She was very smart and super quick to pick up on our our concept, making my job that day fairly easy! I wish her nothing but the best for an awesome modelling career and am hoping she gets lots of great opportunities in the near future.

Here’s one of my favourites from the shoot :)
