Fashion Photography
Just finished up editing my first shoot of 2018. This is another fashion shoot for a friend of mine. We set out to make a few images of three different outfits. The weather was not the best but overcast days usually provide the most flattering light!
We shot in one of the arts district of Louisville, Nulu.
All these images were shot on a Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art lens. Color grading was done in Capture One Pro. Below is a gallery of my top picks.
Fashion photography has always been that genre that has always intrigued me but never one I followed or pursued. My main focus right now in my career has been storytelling through images. My friend Jesse texted me the other day about wanting to get into male modeling and creating a little portfolio/lookbook of images to shop around to different agencies. I took this as an opportunity to dive in and push my photography.
We shot in downtown Louisville on a parking garage roof and then down on Main street. I used all natural light and we started right around the beginning of golden hour
We went through several outfits that played very nicely with the light and textures around the city. All these images were shot on a Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art lens. Color grading was done in Photoshop. Below is the rest of the images.
I connected with Murphy on social media and asked him if he would want to do some interesting portraits in a parking garage. This test shoot was just a "wing it" shoot, I didn't have a shot list list, we just walked around and looked for interesting elements within our given space. The only plan was to us the harsh midday sunlight and shadows. Everything was shot with natural light. It's always refreshing not lugging around a bunch of lights. Since we were shooting in a relatively busy garage, on a hot day, without any help I opted for no additive lights.
I tried using shadows as much as possible. With harsh midday sun it can be a little tricky to work well.
Here is a slideshow of all the images we took.
