And so it starts
On Saturday Hussian and I did our first 'proper' photo shoot together, for clients!
It was a family with 2 boys. As we are also shooting their wedding there was added pressure to do well. Hussian took the lead on this venture for 2 reasons, first off he knew the couple already and second he had the better equipment using the Canon 7D rather than my Canon 450D (his is a better camera, and one I'm keen to get) that said I take nothing away from Hussian's shots.

The setup was a little more involved that I would have liked for the shoot, but I think that's because I'm more used to natural light shots and good old England decided to rain so that option was out. Meaning we needed to setup up an in-house studio and lighting. Luckily the family were easy going and understood what we were trying to achieve with the shots.
As Hussian was focussed on the photography I worked on the refining, angles, shapes and small details - just as important to any shot, surprising what a big difference it makes.
The boys, well were boys and did themselves proud. We had a nice mixed variety of shots, but it was obvious the novelty wears off quick, so working fast is key. I think we handled the kids well, giving them things to do and being very interactive with them.
I am looking forward to the wedding and I can see Nic (the wife-to-be) will make a beautiful bride. I am under no illusions however just how much work is involved in it.
In order to do the best I can I have been training myself and learning as much as possible about posing, positions and layouts which no doubt will show itself in my upcoming photos.
