Hollywood Nini, Nacogdoches TX
Nini looking like a Hollywood movie star with a three light technique. The pose is all Sue Bryce, the queen of posing that I have been studying for over a year now. This photo is from our anniversary shoot, taken in our carport after dark, during the rain. Nini had gotten all dolled up with hair and makeup at a salon, and since the rain cut our shoot short, I set up a little studio lighting in the carport! Nini was in front of the camera for only about two hours that day. It was my most successful portrait shoot to date considering I made several photos worth processing in that two hour shoot. I’m finally getting the hang of this after two years working with artificial light and posing. Check out one of my personal favorites from the shoot here.
For this photo, Nini is lit with two softboxes behind Nini at 45 degree angles towards the camera and a beauty dish in front of Nini about three feet in front of and about one to two feet above her head. Her pose is not perfect, and the one thing I would change about the pose is I would have her separate her left elbow from her body so her waste line was more prominent. But overall I was happy that I didn’t entirely freeze up after only one or two poses during this shoot, which can happen when you’re subject isn’t a natural poser.
To make sure I never freeze up during posing again, I’m taking Sue Bryce’s 28 days of video challenges on CreativeLIVE. Yesterday her challenge video was two hours long and Sue walked us through two complete portrait sessions with five outfits and several backgrounds/all natural lighting techniques. Today her challenge is “one composition, five poses.” Throughout the 28 days Sue will not only show us how to pose women for contemporary portraiture, but will also show us how to pose couples, groups, men, and families. Sue doesn’t advertise to these groups and has never showed us how to shoot them before, but has over 20 years of experience to share with us.
