Behind the scenes Shop Talk model portfolio shoot video

I've been talking with a local model in regards to a shoot to update her portfolio. We had finally decided it was time to get it done, especially since the weather has warmed up a whole lot!

I turned it into a "Shop Talk" experience by bringing along a couple of other shooters who wanted some insight into professional lighting. So we were joined by Jens (pronounced "Yentz") and Darryl (all the way from Ottawa!).

We created a stop-motion video of the shoot that shows some of the differences in lighting techniques, and some of the problems we addressed. It might be a little nerdy for non-photographers, but it's still an interesting view into one of our shoots!

So take a look, and maybe you'll gain insight into why I do the things I do on your wedding day.
