Modeling Composite Card Photography

As a photographer for many modeling agencies, I have the challenge of coming up with new ideas and shoot locations.  Recently I worked with the lovely Bailey on her modeling composite card and since she brought this adorable swim tube as a prop I thought it would be fun to take it to our local Harford County Maryland stream and have her her splashing around in a photo.  After reviewing the images, I wasn’t crazy about how the water had turned out…kind of a brownish tone from the recent rain.  I suddenly had an idea of removing her image from the stream and giving her a new pool to swim in!  I photographed pool water separately and like magic she was splashing in pretty blue pool water vs the brownish Winter’s Run stream.  So this is proof you can’t believe what you see anymore in a photograph, even in a teen modeling composite card photography shoot!

 

Fashion editorial photography for HC Style Magazine

We had a great time doing this fashion editorial on a very hot, humid day in June.  Luckily all involved were good sports, particularly the beautiful Rebecca.  The Mt. Felix Vineyard has a gorgeous female mastiff as it’s mascot and she had just had puppies a few weeks before.  As we were finishing up our shoot one of the puppies came to visit.  Obviously we all thought this was adorable and Rebecca started to pose with the little guy.  The pup had other ideas, no interest in being a model and a very specific interest in her socks.  I snapped these adorable out-takes as he very impolitely stole the socks right off her feet!

I can’t show you the finished images since they have not yet been published in HC Style magazine.  However I really wanted to show you these funny shots that in the old days would have just been displayed in my darkroom for my own amusement.  These posts are a great way to share!   Fashion editorial photography is my absolutely favorite thing to do and I want to thank the models Rebecca and Ting Ting along with stylists Caitlyn Meyer and Lisa Jones-Butz.
