Well, just had my second photo shoot, this time with Annelies. Big difference with the last shoot is I mostly focussed on getting just two light setups just right. I also found out it isn't only important to have the model sit or stand in the right spot for the lighting to be right, but also at what angle her body and face are. Last shoot was also much more about flooding the stage with light, while I got back to a 2 light setup for this one allowing me to focus much more on getting those 2 just right.

As always, I'm nowhere near close being satisfied with my shots, but it is very encouraging to see them become better. For the next shoot I'll focus on preparations more (instead of mucking around like I did before) so I can get more out of my time with my model, getting some attributes for more variety in my compositions and creating at least one more good light setup.

I'm really starting to love model studio photography - very different from what I've done before and much harder than I thought... I'll definitely keep my focus on it. I'll still post some other shots from time to time though.
