Centennial Park Model Shoot II…

by on Apr.27, 2013, under Life, Photography

I attended the second Google Plus Centennial Park PicANiK on a lovely Sydney day where we were doing a little model portfolio shooting followed by an evening of fire twirling and light painting.

Bianca, a lovely young lady was one of our ring-in models (the daughter of one of the other attendees) but she was a natural and coped very well with twenty people with D-SLR’s surrounding her 🙂

No off camera flash used here – just backlight from the late afternoon sun and a large round reflector down low in front to bounce some light back onto her. At times we also used a scrim overhead and behind to soften the light falling on her.

I got so many good shots of Bianca (almost all in critical focus too) – too hard to choose between them 🙂 – maybe you can choose for me?

These are all almost straight out of camera with Daylight white balance and a tiny bit of retouching to some, taken with the glorious Sigma 85mm f/1.4
