After the long photo shoot Sunday evening, I got in a conversation with one of our models, Zion. She was looking for a photographer to help her take a few shots for a show on the Food Network that she was going to be on.
They needed several shots of her ordering take-out, eating take-out and relaxing at home, to be interjected into the show when it airs.
The time I spent on this shoot Monday evening was great education - it made me think very in-depth about lighting, composition, how to frame shots, how to get creative in a small space (her apartment wasn’t very spacious).
All in all, I had a great time, despite being pretty tired from the day before.
Then again, I really can’t complain, afterall my photographs will be shows on the Food Network. :)

Last Sunday, myself and 46 other photographers from the Austin Strobist flickr group got together for several hours of chaos shooting.
We had pooled our money and rented a swank downtown nightclub, Vicci for 5 hours.
We divided into 4 teams, each with approx. 10-12 photographers. We then rotated through the lighting setups and the models.
I was lead for team #4, and we started with shooting Zion - a model I’ve worked with before, who is great fun to work with. Full of energy, and always ready to laugh.
Next up were Carole and Garrett, a modeling couple here in town. They were great to work with, you got some more freedom in composition and posing, since you had two people to work with. I actually spent a few extra minutes after shooting with them to get a shot I’d had in mind:
The third model we shot was Michelle, a new transplant to Austin. She’s originally from Brazil and moved here less than a month ago.
The fourth model we shot with was Jessa - she’s been to the Strobist meets in the past. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any good shots from the shoot with her - we were experimenting with the lighting and when I reviewed my photos afterwards, I wasn’t happy with any of them.
5-6 hours of hectic creativity later, we all ended up going to Manuels (sp?) downtown for some dinner.
Much fun was had by all.
