Portfolio Shoot: Laura Surrich (Part 2)

This weekend I shot with Laura again, I'm helping her to overhaul her portfolio. It's been a while since our first shoot. Now that I look back on those photos, I don't really like them so much anymore. I'm pretty pleased with what we got from this session. This time I asked my friend John if I could shoot inside his house cause it's got lots of windows for good light, hardwood floors, and three big leather couches...hmmm...I may have to use his house more often :)

Portfolio Shoot: Dana Mihailoff

Some photos from a portfolio shoot with Dana Mihailoff, a local Wellington model. Dana's boyfriend James was one of the Actors I met on set of Simon's short film First Light. After using a couple of my photos in his agency portfolio, he suggested she use me to update her portfolio as well.

So we spent pretty much an entire Sunday in the hills behind her family's house, and inside the lounge at her mom's office. This was also my first shoot using a Makeup Artist. Bex (short for Rebecca) is a local model as well, but also has her own Makeup Artist business for when she's not in front of the camera herself. We plan on collaborating more with each other in the future...maybe she'll even step in front of the camera for me too :)

Dana wanted a mix of casual and fashion/editorial style images. Luckily it was a nice winter weekend which meant we could grab a few shots outdoors.
