Test Shooting with New Gels

in #photography7 years ago

I was supposed to shoot with a couple new models this weekend. I was pretty excited because I haven’t had new faces in front of the camera for a hot minute. However, both cancelled shortly before the shoot claiming illness, only to forget that we follow each other on instagram so I could see their Instagram Stories as they went out drinking shortly after. SO, that was nice. It stung a bit, but I’m pushing past it. I got stuff to accomplish this year. Can’t be slowed down.

So I jumped in front of the camera to try out some new gels I grabbed at the store. I got a couple different color combos to play with, so hopefully I can get back in front of the camera and shoot some more tests this week.

I didn’t intentionally do it, but the makeup I chose was primarily two vivid colors- bright blue and bright pink. Naturally, it made a two-tone effect on my face, but I kinda dig it.

I did the makeup, hair, modeling and lighting. My lady took the photos for me.

I hate when people do that! It is awful waste of precious time. But you did nice job anyway. Lights are intriguing:)

Isn't it the worst? Thank you so much! Definitely had fun playing with the lights!! <3

Yeah! People should see that wasting someones time is same as stealing! And time u never get back...

Damn, flakes are bad but lying flakes are worse. Glad you didn't let that stop you from getting in some practice.

I love that deeper blue that appears at the line combining the two light hues. This is so perfectly late 80s/early 90s coloring in my eyes. And you are a killer model for yourself; you know how you imagine an concept and you can execute it just how you like.

So very true- looking forward to a day where they ask to shoot with me and I can politely turn them down because I have other clients. Daydreaming of success :)

Thank you so much, your comments always put a smile on my face- you're incredibly eloquent! I love that line too- it makes these photos feel very much like a Depeche Mode song, so that fits the time frame you commented :)

Yaaas, success is the best form of revenge haha.

And you are so sweet! I would be knocking down doors to pose for ya if we were closer!

awww, i would so love that!!

Collaborations are hard. I’m always giving them the benefit of the doubt when I make time to do art with others but they always have ‘better’ things to do. You did an amazing job on your own. The gels look great! I haven’t really tried them out but they look fun.

Yeah, they're so difficult, which is why I usually end up being my own model. I'm trying to add variety but it's hard when people flake so much :( Thank you love! I'm definitely feelin the contrast of using twondifferent colors- Going to try a few more color schemes this week!

fantastic, play with light...
