Shooting a debutante at home.

Canon 1Ds III f2.8 24-70mm lens @27mm

What a great way to end the weeks shooting! Spending an hour with the lovely Bridget, creating some personalized debutante images for her within the surrounds of her parents beautifully decorated home. Robyn and I enjoyed shooting in a number of different rooms, while family and friends called by to check out Bridget, the dress and her handsome partner, Michael. Thanks guys we had a great time and you've got some great shots that we look forward to showing you soon.

I loved the depth we were able to get into this shot by using the archway and feature mirror, while Bridget struck a relaxed but elegant pose on the leather lounge in the foreground. We used the rooms ambient lighting to convey a feeling of space, plus a couple of small 580ex flash guns to provide a little modeling light to our beautiful subjects face.

Whoops it Friday! That means tonights shoot wasn't the end of our shooting week. Tomorrow at the crack of dawn we'll be up getting gear ready and packing up the studio to head to Manangatang were we will be photographing a bunch of beautiful young debs but under vastly different conditions.
