I went for my second ever photo shoot on Sunday with a photographer in Bellville, IL. Pj came with me, as always, as my escort and assistant. These photos were taken in the photographer's home studio. It was a very good learning experience for me. It's interesting that photographers can work so differently. What one photographer may love, the other wants the oposite. With my first shoot, I was used to sitting up straight, working my angles and tilting my chin down. this photographer liked me leaning forward with my chin up. I practiced different poses and am really learning my strengths and weaknesses. Hands are SO hard for me to pose without them looking like claws or mitts. I've been studing other model's hands and watching You Tube videos to try to practice elegant, feminine hand poses. It doesn't help that I have crafty girl hands, crack my knuckles and keep my nails short for my hobbies. These are some of the best images from my second shoot.

My 3rd photo shoot is this weekend at a local carnival. I'm really looking forward to getting outside again. I love the natural light and when I have interesting scenery, I really get into it and have a great time!
I'm loving these posts!
ReplyDeleteWith hands: think Barbie. Unless you're actually holding something, do Barbie hands. Same with wrists. Straight or slightly up, but not limp looking. Also good for avoiding carpel tunnel.
You are so beautiful in all the photos. I just wish I had the courage to do something like this.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you are so beautiful-they came out really good actually. Love the whole outfit!!! xox
ReplyDeleteThe photos look fabulous! I am horrible at posing, not that I need to much, but when I was a singer I did, I just was awful, so much so, the photographer shone a light straight in my eyes so he got me naturally to drop my chin & look up through my lashes! The photo looks great but he had to use some tricks. You on the other hand look a natural

ReplyDeleteI love your blog and have just been reading your older entries and came across this photo session. So fun to see a fellow curvy girl (and we are just about the same size, including being 'well endowed - I felt your pain being a girl with full bust; mine developed at age NINE). Anyways, the point is, you look stunning and my goodness you are such a lovely girl! PS Love your vintage decor besides the great vintage wardrobe!!!
