The kindness of strangers

As you know I’m running a time for prints project so I can learn how to light and to build a portfolio. I’ve shot a few people now, but I knew all of them so it was easy to just go and do it with no stress involved. Of course, I can’t spend my whole life shooting people I already know so I was very happy when Michelle and Joe contacted me to volunteer as models. We met up this afternoon and went out in San Francisco for a shoot. I was stunned when 3 hours had passed in the blink of an eye, I probably would have kept on shooting and shooting but the Vagabond II ran out of power (note: I never used it in this particular shot)!

I’m going to post a few shots from this session as we got quite a few that I’m happy with. Big thanks to Michelle and Joe for volunteering and their patience!
