The shot list included images in colour and monochrome, images were to include, formals on seamless white, face portraits, some pin up style images and a selection of moody rock chick images. Lucy wanted to keep her natural hair style....I could see maree wanting to push the look a little...
At our studio we are less inclined to push the latest fashion of overworked over saturated images...in saying that we do show clients before and after images that have make up but very little photoshop work.
Maree kept the make up minimal and young.Make up in a photo shoot is very important to present clients at their best, it safeguards against too much shine as the studio strobes produce a great deal of light and the reflection of human skin can blow out high lights.
Air conditioning in the studio was great to keep the skin cool during these very hot days...I'm sure glad that we were not working in a warehouse studio.
We ask clients to come with washed faces with no make up, with a good breakfast to keep the blood sugar up and bring costume changes...we guide clients on clothing depending on the "tone" of the photo shoot and the looks that are requested.
I'm sure that a few of these images will find their way into Lucy's mums house on mothers day.

We provide a complete framing service with all the examples on the wall .Also other products like images on acrylic, leather free standing double or triple portfolios for all the young people that are renting apartments and cannot put frame hangers in the walls.
We run photography and lighting courses for those interested in taking their skills to another level or want to get out of the rut of shooting in the same way.
We also instruct people about digital colour and monochrome photography.
Some images work in colour,some work in monochrome and some can look great in both formats.
The pin up images were fun ...some for public view and some not...
Lucy settled in after an hour and produced some stunning images in colour and black and white...
The corporate world will never look at a blazer in the same way again after this photo shoot
Lucy was able to give me great laughs for images, this is a great deal harder that one thinks...Note how the colour tone changes in Lucy's makeup (especially the lipstick) in the colour image and then check out the monochrome images.I like to have the "tone" of the lips at least as dark as the eyebrows...
