The funnest, most chilled shoot ever.

One of two things needs to happen... Well, this isn't really an ultimatum, i was going to say: I need a website for file hosting, or i need to be more critical in my image selection. Out of the 300ish photo's we shot this day, i have narrowed it down to 21 that i really love and would be stoked to put my name on. 21 out of 300+?. Thats still a lot. And I do need a website soon if im going to start getting paid jobs for myself. So both actually need to happen. Also I spent alot of time in Lightroom with these, where usually I figure out a specific look that im going for, with these, every shot was so different in terms of dynamic, feel, setting, lighting and exposure that almost every scene we shot needed individual tweaks.

The concept of the shoot was..... there is no concept. I just felt like shooting something colourful and fresh and something with a bit of life. I managed to convince a friend quite easily. All was set. We had great weather and great light to shoot. The wait for the evening light really paid off. Next challenge is to get up super early to do a sunrise shoot some time aswell.

The girl you are looking at is the lovely Ms Daniella Puccini. A friend of mine who also has never posed or been photographed seriously before. Very cool vibe's shooting with her, as she is very laid back, easy going and open to all ideas. My assistant for the shoot was my buddy Jason Matthews, who did a rad job of holding umbrella's, changing lenses, setting strobe power etc... Very cool working with friends. Mental note: Rather hire a friend with less photo knowledge and good vibes than a gear-nerd with no personality or creativity.

I have loads of editing to do from the weekend, and loads more cool photo's to show. So without further waiting, here is Ms Daniella Puccini.

SPECIAL PLUG: 


Daniella - You are a star. Your insight and good vibes make this possible. Thank you so much.
