The third shoot of my experiment with working with multiple models at the same location came with Viktoria, a professional trained ballet dancer. This shoot contained an interesting shift taking place only a few days after the shoot with Bree in the same location. I mentioned that I’d driven home from the shoot with Bree in a pretty good rain, but in fact it rained much of the time between the two shoots. In fact Viktoria and I changed plans the morning of the shoot planning to shoot inside because of the threat of weather. Thankfully the forecast improved at the last minute and we were able to go back to our original plan of shooting in this location.
Part of my desire to upgrade cameras late last year came for shoots like this. We were meeting late and in cloudy weather to shoot in deep woods. There’s little chance my previous camera could have handled the ISO needed here and not introduced too much noise. The rain also meant that any attempt to shoot in the falls would be out of the question. The water flow was too high to put anyone into so we focused on the landscape around the falls.
While Viktoria couldn’t get into the falls, it still worked as a nice set to pose her against.
We also did some light painting work late in the shoot in that meadow I mentioned.
Viktoria also posted a few photos from the shoot on her Tumblr.
