So Far

So these are a few of the photos from the amazing shoot i had with Kyle the other day.  So far i have retouched 10 images...over 4 days.  The whole shoot was so good it's so hard to pick the ones i want to retouch, but so far so good i think. Definitely got a lot of portfolio pieces out of it, and there are enough images to make kyle his own book haha.  The next post on this will be all the images and i'll need some good old fashion brooks crit on them.

Miss Lassen County 2011- Charity or Organization

No makeup, hair not done, and you have to get a photo.  The first photo of the day was a bare bones image with little retouching.  The point of these was to promote a charity or organization the contestants support.  When they got to the studio this morning, some freshly woken up ready to get glamorized for the days shoot, they knew this was coming.  In all honesty i love these photos, it shows a bit of personality and their willingness to step outside their comfort zones.  Each image has a hash tag for the new age of tweeters out there and the website for the organization below.  These photos will accompany their headshot and the concept shoot at the pageant display.  Almost all these sites takes donations, and i hope that each of you will log on and donate in the name of the contestant you are supporting. 

I will have the head shots of the hair and makeup and the studio shots up next week!

Miss Lassen County 2011-Shoot 1

Well today was the big day.  A shoot that has taken almost a month to plan happened.  8 Girls, 3 hair and makeup artists, 1 photo assistant, 1 photographer.  It was a long day, a fun day, and a day that saw amazing results.  I am now under the time crunch to get them done for the pageant and so far so good.  It's amazing how hair and makeup done amazingly well shortens retouching time.  Thank you, not only to the girls competing for Miss Lassen County, but to Beth, Amanda, and Shaylee who worked their butts off to do some amazing hair and makeup, and Shelby for being an awesome photo assistant.
