Photography Class
I think I mentioned that I was going to be doing some posing for my friend Steph's photography class last week. So I met Steph on Tuesday night at Algonquin College (definitely got lost on the campus trying to find the right parking lot...). Steph does photography on the side - she works full-time in a financial job - and she has been getting more credits each term toward her photography certificate. In the past, our friend Chris has been her model but since Chris moved to Toronto earlier this year, Steph needed a new model and she asked Jenn and I if one of us could help her out last week and both of us this week. I was going to be away this week (I'm in Toronto for work) so I did the first night and Jenn took the second with her cousin Alli.
The professor did a brief lecture on the different lighting techniques that they were going to be trying to capture and then we were sent off to do the shoot. There are two studios to shoot in with all the backdrops, special lights, and other shading and reflecting equipment. We worked with another one of Steph's classmates and her model was her friend who is a female boxer (at the professional level). She was dressed in full gear and had her gloves and helmet which inevitably ended up on me before the end of the night...
I've included some of the pictures that she submitted. The shooting techniques included split, butterfly, broad and rembrandt lightings. We want to send our thanks to Cheryl for the ski-jump nose I inherited because it certainly helped her to capture some of the lighting very easily.
