Nerves to Smiles
Yesterday’s Portrait Custom Course student was nervous – she is preparing for a 90th birthday party photo assignment. There’s a lot to think about when under pressure!
We went through the material from the Natural Light Portraits course spending time specifically on indoor use of camera mounted flash. We did a quick review before I left Nat to prepare for her final exam – producing portraits for an unknown person – Shirley, past photo student. Her modeling instructions were simply “Be yourself.”
By the end of the session Nathalie’s nerves had melted into smiles. She did well and had fun shooting. Nice work Nat!
Below, see some photos I shot during her final exam:
