Fashion Model Amanda and her Dog - Pet Photoshoot

Amanda contacted me a while ago to photograph her and her dog Monroe. Amanda and I travel some of the same boxing circles as she's been a fighter for years and is now involved with dog training. Monroe the German Shepherd Dog was cute and well behaved. We had a lot of fun with this set. Amanda really went all out with wardrobe and props for this session. Here are some of the early favourites.

Teaser Image from Shoot with Scarlett Edwards

I had a great shoot last night with Scarlett Edwards, a talented model. I was trying out some single light techniques to improve my lighting skills. For the image below I used a single strobe on a boom directly over the model. The light had a gridded reflector and barndoors to shape the light. We tried a lot of different poses. The idea was to illuminate the shoulders and upper buttocks while keeping the back in shadow. Initially all of the images were to be shot in black and white, but when I saw how her red hair popped off the black background, I had to go with colour.

I'll eventually post more from the set, but they will not be SFW or Facebook friendly.
