I'm looking forwards to it. Apparently the (part time) staff who couldn't make it last time are really excited as they saw the photos from the first session and loved them.
I'll post some shots afterwards. Things I'm going to do differently tomorrow based on what I leanred first time around...
- Turn the ambient (flourescent) lighting off.
- Seperate subject from the background with more distance and get the background light in a better position to blow the background white.
- Get them to lick their lips before taking the shot. (can't remember where I read this)
- Interact more and direct the posing . Get poeple to smile more naturally via interaction jokes.threats of photoshopping in warts and spots :-)
- May be set the short lighting up from the opposite and swap poses 180degrees so not all facing left.
And one thing I must remember is to ask people if it's OK to put their photos on my blog and add them to my long neglected 100 strangers project. http://www.flickr.com/photos/marklandon/sets/72157611320280959/
...and finally I must get some business cards printed out. I've been looking at some from "moo" via Flickr. Having some cards to give out to people at these shoots wouldn't do my word of mouth advertising any harm at all !!
