Photoshoot - Priscilla

Pricilla is a lovely, lovely girl, but man this was a hard shoot. Firstly, 10pm the night before the shoot she wanted to reschedule, which I was able to do by moving some stuff around, then she had a car accident right near my house. Her car was pretty crashed and I did a massive cool job of duct taping it back together, but we didn't shoot that day. We shot later in the week and she was a good two hours late and actually one of the hardest people I've had to shoot.

I quite liked her and we got along quite well, but professionally, she was quite difficult. She had these massively huge breasts, that's right, massively huge that she was really quite self conscious of and didn't really want in the shots. The breastal area is really quite central to a young lady's image and so the task at hand was tricky. Everyone I've shot so far I've contacted through modelling websites. Eventually when I am Full Of Awesome As Photographer I'll be lending my services for a small fee to the general public, and Priscilla was a very good example of the problems I'm likely to face.

I'd love to say that I thought outside the box and came up with photographic gold, but to be honest, her restrictions somewhat defeated me. I still ended up with 251 shots, which Priscilla culled to 150. We actually sat together and deleted the shots, which killed me, I'm a hoarder of photos, but there really is no point in having shots the model cringes at.

I honestly don't really like many of the shots and struggled to find some for this post. I went a bit bolder with the makeup, and I think it worked okay. She has a great smile which is pretty easy to work with.

One thing we did try was to max out all the lights. It totally overblows everything, which in turn, smooths out the skin. It gives it a slight orange tinge, but could well be something to play with more later.
