Art! At the Speed of Light...

Welcome to Light-Art Photography's Shoot-of-the-Day

I LOVE Photography! (that was the understatement of the day)
To me it is amazing how we can capture and freeze a millisecond of time in such a way that we can create an entire story with it.

I'm putting this blog together so that you can get a little insight into at least one of the shoots I do on a daily basis.

Hopefully it'll inspire you and give you wings to reach new heights in this amazing art form... if anything it'll be my way of letting you into my life as a photographer, my joys and frustrations.

Please sign up as a follower so I know you're here, it'll also be amazing for me to hear about your shoots, so leave your comments and your picks here.

Modelling... What's it all about?

Having been through a very quiet time in my photgraphic business I decided to try my hand at the "Fashion" photography game.
The one thing that has always grabbed my attention is the way models are able to "sell" the product they're modelling. I think a good model knows that the shoot is not about them, it's about the product.
That said when a model is putting their portfolio together, the product is themselves. :-|

Modeling is like acting... actually, it is acting. You have a role to play, that role is to enjoy, experience or interact with the product you are modeling and to be able to convey that joy/ experience to your viewer/ audience.

Here's are a couple of models I've recently had the priviledge of capturing... Have a look and let me know what you think.

Bianca was by far the most spontaneous had had the most fun in front of the camera and I think it shows very clearly ion the resulting images

I love the way each model's individuality comes through in the image. It's that individuality that sells the product. And it's that individuality and being able to express that individuality in diverse ways that opens the door for the model to be used again.
