Like I mentioned in my previous post, I could not wait for my wedding season to begin. It has not begun yet, but I definitely got to shoot today. I shot my very first business portrait! Some photographers say that business portraits are so lame and boring, but I thought that it was really fun! Well, maybe it’s because I got to work with really fun clients!

Anywho, I just wanted to post my favourite shot from this session, and I’m sure that you guys will love it too. I actually wanted to do something different, compared to the typical business portraits that you’ve seen out there. I believe that Sarah has never done this before, but after a few minutes of shooting, she felt comfortable, and she actually posed herself that way. In this image, you can definitely see confidence and a relaxed personality, and I think that’s what business portrait is all about. Representing who you are, and she definitely nailed it.

And here’s the post processing of the shot that I really liked:

And for all you, lighting nerds: AB800 shot through 47″ softbox top-right of camera.

Alannah and I have been friends since high school, and have done two previous photoshoots together this year; however I didn’t post them here, simply because I don’t think that they would be wedding appropriate. No nudes! But one was more of a sexy theme, and the other one was a zombie photoshoot. However, it’s definitely not your typical zombie photoshoot, quite gory actually…not for the weak!

I did another photoshoot with her this weekend, it was about -4′c, but sunny and no wind! The sun acted as a backlight and the snow, on the ground, as a giant reflector which helped a lot to illuminate her face. But I was comtemplating really hard, as to or not post them here, and now I get to share them with you!!!!! Isn’t she just a gorgeous model ?

and her boyfriend.
