I wish that we arrived at the Hemisfair earlier, we missed a great deal of opportunities. Oh well, we plan on coming back next week around 2pm. Here is what we got.
Sabrina asked me if I could do the photoshoot earlier because she doesn’t want to miss the Cowboy’s game. So we hit the shower and got all the equipment ready within 15 mins. We arrived at the location at the same time. Then I asked Sabrina if there is any specific styles that she likes, she smiled and gave me only 3 words: river, tree and wall. We finished the session in 45 mins, the fastest one I have ever done. Here is my top 9:
Sheila told me that Katie and Bryan are willing to volunteer for my portfolio and I agreed to do theirs on the same day. They arrived at the location around 5 p.m. so we stayed at the same location for another hour or so. Bryan seemed a little uncomfortable in front of the camera at the beginning but toward the end of the session, he showed us his real modeling talent. It was my fault for not talking to Bryan more at the beginning. But overall, they turned out great.
We headed back to downtown before the sun completely set. There are a lot of beautiful backgrounds that we could use. Katie asked me that if I could include the water tower in the picture. “Sure. Not a problem”, I replied. Then we set up the lighting around the open field, measured the lights and this is what we have.
At the last location, I decided to do some Portraits. We picked the spot, set up the lightings, and “WoOoOoW”, “Who is that guy standing next to Katie? What did you do to our Bryan?”. Katie picked up the new refreshing vibe from Bryan and answered it by showing some of her own somethin’ somethin’ too. Thank you guys. It was a pleasure, great job.

On Saturday Nov 1st, 2008, we went to New Braunfels to do our first engagement assignment. I felt a little nervous and excited at the same time. With given conditions, unfamiliar location, with harsh lighting at 2pm in the afternoon, so I decided not to beat the sun. Instead, I could use the sunlight as rim light whenever possible and fill the shadow with only the reflector. We arrived in downtown area then we began to scout the location. It’s a really beautiful place, there are plenty of buildings, cool walls, and some antique props; a vintage looking small little town. Here is a couple that turned out great:
Sheila suggested that we moved the another location, a park with trees, open grass, river bank, and peers. She typed in the address on my GPS then we left downtown. We stopped by Mac Donald to pick up some drinks and foods, I’ve been having cotton mouth all day. Then we let the GPS to guide us to the park.
When we arrived at the park, I was stunned. It was way more beautiful than what I had imagined. For this location, I refrained myself from using the strobes and stick with my reflector-only plan.
