Lifestyle Shoot with Jherane

In my last blog post, I said I needed to step out of my comfort zone, that shoot allowed me to do just that. This time around, I decided to focus on one thing; keeping it simple. The conditions of the shoot were quite similar to the last, as all I had on hand (yet again) was my trusty camera, a single speedlight, and a very small room. Travelling light equipment-wise has been a boon, as it allows me to get back to basics and focus on what’s at hand.

Jherane, while gorgeous, isn’t a professional model (not that you’d be able to tell from these images). As with many folks, at first she was a bit shy in front of the camera. I’m sure most of us can relate, because I know I can! But once we built our rapport, we decided that the best way to make everything easy-breezy was to have a few episodes of Steven Universe run in the background. The shyness melted quite quickly, and it was smooth sailing from that point on. Full album can be found here.
