I had the great pleasure of photographing these wonderful women yesterday. Susan contacted me saying she needed publicity shots of her, her mom and her daughters for an event in March. I jumped at the chance! I had done "The Wizard of Oz" with Susan and had performed in "Beauty and the Beast" with Elaine, who was Mrs. Potts! Needless to say, I was more than happy to help them out. K and E, Susan's daughters were absolutely cracking me up, especially K in her pink cowgirl boots.
I'm also stoked because this was the first time I did a shoot entirely in Manual mode. I have always shot in Aperture and this has been taking some getting used to. I love it though and I love how much control I have over the situation. Where I used to overexpose, I can now adjust and have the exposure I want. This photography thing is so fascinating! Thank you Susan for letting me spend a little time with you all. I had a great time.
oh these are gorgeous! I especially love the second one. what a great moment.
ReplyDeleteand I so get you! I've been so frustrated with a lot of the modes that I mostly shoot in manual. I don't always get great shots (and I get a lot that get deleted) but I like the control. :)
