It’s so funny how we work.  We look at things as to how we feel about a certain model whether it’s by viewing their packages that’s being sent from different agencies or just by meeting them in person.  Recently an agency sent me a package (packages are different images of different models that you can view, and possibly want to either test with them or get paid to shoot the model(s) that’s sent to you).  From the packages that were sent to me, I selected Taylor Roberts.  I must tell you, she was a doll to work with.  The minute she walked into the studio it was heaven sent.  She was beautiful throughout the day.  Great personality, very talkative and was very good at following my directions as to what I was looking for.

I must also add that I had such a FANTABULOUS team.  Without the team, it’s not a shoot per-se.  Although I’ve shot without a team and was able to pull it off but with the team, it surely makes a huge difference.  So speaking of team, I want to thank them personally.

When I first started photography, I not only started with film but also did nothing but outdoors.  Shooting outdoors is not the easiest simply because the sun doesn’t care what you’re doing or where you’re at.  There’s a lot of factors that we as professional photographers have to keep an eye on.  First, we have to think of the weather, is it going to rain, is it going to be cloudy, is it blue skies and which direction is the sun going towards?  There are other factors as well but you get the hint.  This shot was done in a mansion outdoors in Los Angeles.  Weather was perfect as it had blue skies and not a single cloud was intruding the sun.  This was shot using a Canon 1DsMII, strobe lighting and was shot camera left.  Also a medium softbox was used in this scenario.  Model was BEAUTIFUL as you can see.  ISO @ 100, f/6.4@125th, focal length 57mm.
