I thoroughly enjoy doing shoots like the one I did with LeeAnn -- as
most men would, I suppose. Unfortunately, my lack of experience
shows in too many of my shots, and I just flat-out don't know any of
the experienced photographers in my area in order to pick their
brains and steal their ideas.
1) Experience is how we keep from making mistakes.
Mistakes are how we gain experience.
2) You got some great shots. Despite my reputation for profligate
posting, you really only need one to, at most, six keepers from a
photo shoot, and you definitely got those.
3) There is a good chance that these are some of the best pictures
LeeAnn has of herself.
4) "These are good, but I got some advice on how to do even better"
is a great reason to do another photo shoot with her.
I don't see any downside here.
Thanks for the perspective, Larry. And, yes, LeeAnn said they were the
best photos she's ever had taken.
There is one downside in all of it, though. She moved to Georgia this
past weekend. Though, she does have family in the area (her mom) and is
anxious to do more photo shoots when she's back in town.
So, I have that to look forward to. In the meantime, I have my eye on
another young lady who works at the little Burger Bar up the street from
me. Porcelain skin, dark hair and piercing blue eyes.
I just have to catch her when she's working and approach her about it.
I'm thinking about getting a tablet so I can show some of my work to
potential models. I hear the Kindle Fire HD has a really nice display.
