Testing Lights and Set - First Photos of Idaho

Idaho's incredibly fun to shoot, and she has a wonderful attitude about her work. It's always my pleasure to work with great models, and she is one of the best.  We shot 2 sets in the corner by the front door, and one by the picture window.  We used an old radio for a prop and some of  the shots have a vintage feel to them,which I like.

We set up the lights, and I wanted to shoot a few tests to get a feel for shooting in my home.  I shot both digital, and 120 film and I must admit enjoying the film more.  It was the first chance to use my Roleiflex with strobes, but the film is still in the lab, so I'll share those later.  The digital shots came out much better than I thought they would,although the shots in the corner of the room are underexposed. I know to open up a bit next time, but by the window the exposure worked well. 

I tried using both cameras, switching between them, and I think I won't do that again.   We seemed to loose something pausing so often to switch gear.  Next time, I'll  know to use only one camera at a time, and compose each set accordingly.  I look forward to working with Idaho again.  In the meantime, there's lots of material to draw from!  Look for a drawing or 2 soon.
