Studio Model Portfolio – Amy

This is Amy, who has actually been a good friend of ours here at the studio for a few years. Amy  works in a neighbouring business within the Linen Green, and on several occasions previously has looked after the studio for us while we were off out on location work. Very often Amy would be arriving in to look after the studio as we would be leaving to do a model portfolio photo shoot, and she had been privately thinking she’d love to try modelling out for herself. We had a chat about this on a few occasions and advised she was very welcome to come in and book at any time to give it a go.

Eventually we got a mutually suitable date arranged. Amy arrived to the studio in the morning, this time not to answer calls and deal with customer queries, but to model herself. She had came so very well prepared and brought a great range of outfits, far more than we ever managed to use!

Here’s some of the photos:

As usual with all model portfolios we started out with a good range of head shot type images, and used a mix of lighting setups to give a variety in looks.

Same lighting as above but a change in outfit. Amy had brought so much stuff we’d never get through it all!

A change in outfit and lighting to give a completely different look.

Next I gelled up a background and a completely new lighting setup as we selected a few items from Amy’s collection of outfits to compliment the colours.

Time for a full length shot, and in keeping with the time of year the next series of images had a slight Autumnal feel with gold and brown.

As anyone who knows Amy will confirm, she is such a happy person by nature and she found it difficult not to smile and laugh in all her photos!

Back to the white part of the studio and something more casual in look.

It’s always good to have a few black and whites.

Back to some more full length. I’ve had a run of photographers in my studio recently for workshops asking about this inverted triangle background. When I show them what it is it always causes a laugh because it’s so simple.

Amy had brought a hat and indicated she’d like to use it so we managed to fit it in at the end.

I normally wouldn’t mix studio and location nowadays, but I quite selfishly wanted to try out a speedlight trigger system and Amy was happy to oblige when I suggested nipping out quickly to a nearby location for a few shots. Thanks Amy 🙂
