For the second post in this series, I am taking you back once more to the Auto Boneyard shoot of July 2019. It continues the trend that I was seeing with my new Canon RP, and which I discussed at length in the my previous post. More than that, though, the photo is evidence of a paradox I often find myself in at photoshoots.
Specifically, I find that when I shoot candids or ‘casually’ I find myself getting better results than when I am too actively trying to pose a model. For some reason, the creative juices not only flow better, but I achieve genuinely achieve better results that I should be getting consistently with the equipment that I am using. It is a conundrum that I cannot find the reason for; the mystery, however, is a big key to its charm.
So the photo was taken as a bunch of us were photographing a couple of models casually at the end of the shoot, aftey they had changed out of their modeling clothes. Worked out fine as I see it!
And yes, each and every time that I do selective color, I find it cheesy, but that only makes me work harder to enjoy it even more. This is not the last time that you will see something like that on this blog or eventually in my galleries! ;-)
