I’ve been doing a lot more casual and lifestyle shots lately…which contradicts the theory that I don’t shoot girls with clothes on. :) Honestly, I enjoy lifestyle stuff.

I’ve been doing a lot more casual and lifestyle shots lately…which contradicts the theory that I don’t shoot girls with clothes on. :)
Honestly, I enjoy lifestyle stuff. It’s a different mindset…not only for me, but for the model as well. It’s not like you go out there and do the whole “Pose. Click.” thing. It’s not about being sexy. It’s about being…a human being. Living life and having your picture taken at the same time.
Last week, I met up with two of my favorite ladies, Emily and Natalie, for a quick casual session. These shots were actually more “posy” and less lifestyle…but some of the concepts are still the same. For one, I used no lighting at all…with the exception of an off-camera hotshoe flash for a little bit of fill in some instances. But for the most part, I opened up the aperture to crush the background and let some of the background light soak in.
Also, these girls are BEAUTIFUL. The pictures took themselves. During one instance, I actually had Emily tell me a story…which ended up with her erupting in laughter halfway through. I’ll have to share those shots in another post. :)
But here are just a few shots from our sesh…
