Perry photo shoot

For the main photo shoot model  I choose my classmate Perry. The idea behind it was to create a set of photos inspired by labels like Armani, Hugo Boss, Gucci, Versace. I didn't had in mind to make him look like a profesional model. It was more of a experience shoot rather than a professional photo shoot. I put Perry in different poses and situations. Manipulating his gestures and looking for expressions on his face.

The light setting was the most important thing of my photo shoots. Perry was standing in front of a black background. My main tools were; A soft box, a hot shot, A big reflector on a stand, and a mono head/flash head with hard light. I used the school camera Nikon D3000. I set the camera on ISO100  1/25 F 11.

Health and Safety- Since there were only three person in the studio, the risk factor has been reduced. We had a lot of empty space in which we could work. The cabels of the light reflectors had been secured, and the backdrop has secured with a masking tape. No food no drinks had been brought into the room.

A bit more serious. The Jacket matches the light perfectly.

Remembering the good old times.
A difficult past?

In mind the photo shoot was a big success. I have taken amazing pictures of Perry, literally posing like a real model. I got a completely different view on photography now. I am more confident with the camera as the main tool to work with. Even though I made a lot mistakes like: reflecting the light to underline his face. Overall I am very satisfied of this photo shoot.
