Portrait at Sunflowers Field II

This was other photo-session in a beautiful sunflowers field, this summer at Domino’s farm, Ann Arbor, MI. The other session was posted few weeks ago. In this session the model was LaPorscha. She is a model who I have had a photo-session in Detroit.

This session was at middle morning. It was overcast; but for some moments the sun was too bright. So, this session was done using natural light as main light; and for filling a strobe through umbrella and a reflector (5 in 1). For this picture (above) gold surface was used; and white for the following pictures. As usual I received great assistance holding the reflector from Leonor. Also it was windy, and I forgot to bring sand bags; more than onetime my stand light with the umbrella went to the ground.

All post-process  of these pictures was done in Lightroom. In many cases I like to do a good variety  of treatments; like vintage in the previous one.

One picture of this session was post in my flick account, and it had very good acceptation.

Thanks to my beautiful model and FB friend La Porscha, for her time and very good work. And to Leonor for all her assistance.

Portrait at Sunflowers Field I

For me it not very common having a photo-session outdoors. Especially in a beautiful sunflowers field. This summer, I had the fortune of finding it very close to home; at Domino’s Farm.  And I could contact two model to make some pictures over there.

One of models was Halina, she is not officially a model. She is a good friend of me. And she got excited after I told her about it. We started shooting around 8 in the morning. With nice clean sky; very fast the light was getting strong but we manage to get some good pictures; like this.

We used only available natural light; only some filling light was added using a reflector (5 in 1). For this fist picture gold surface was used. I received great assistance holding the reflector from my Leonor (my wife).

Also we used a white surface of the reflector like in the following pictures. This second picture has had a very good acceptation in the Flickr community; getting into the top 200 interestingness.

Other pictures from the same session are:
