Sunday another shoot.
I got an email from this lady
she was a senior woman
and been stopped on the street numerous time
with the request to model
so now she decided
to give it a shot as a model
good for her

I know older people are often used
In commercials in day to day situations
I think of insurance brochures
selling medication
and lets be honest
the older generation is a huge market
to sell to
so shopping and business were other
situations to come to mind.

Again my life is made easy
a gracious woman entered my loft space
and a pleasant to have her around
I had assistance in styling and hair and make-up
which pretty much saved my shoot
without that good tasteful other eye
images can be a total failure

One thing I learned this day
This model is not experienced
the camera can be an intrusive thing
this gun pointing all the time
so I spend more time making her feel comfortable
people around me take often that task

Second
The black and white portraits
I took them at the end of the day
allways take the close portraits at the beginning
The model starts to get tired
and make-up wares off and has to be redone
you can see this and makes the job harder to accomplish
shoot the close portraits at first

Lots of daylight has been used
and ofcourse the little pop from the camera
often I simply bounced a flash against my white ceiling
wich gives great overall light for delicate skin

It is not really my style
it has a more free feel
sunny and commercial
but thats what I knew is desired
by the people this model is dealing with
