final....photobooth

Every photographer has that one model who you have to guide through the shoot. Those are usually the shoots that generally produce no frames worth using(most of the best shots are candid). My idea for this shoot was to let the model(s) have fun with their  time behind the camera, and give them alittle control over the shoot. This in turn, made my job a lot more fun. This shoot was basically my attempt at a collaborative effort between my models and myself.
Influences I used for this shoot came from a google search for "unique photography" and came across a few pictures that had bright colors and an overall overwhelmingly happy emotion. The Photobooth is a fun shoot for models to pick their own props and show off alittle of their own personality. I believe that if the person behind the camera is able to be themself, their energy and positive emotions, and the person that sees the outcome will feel joy by looking at it.
I tried to acheive this by surrounding the models with generic colors with brightly colored props that they get to choose and pose with. I provided the ladies with numerous props and costumes, and told them to put together their own looks. The shoot was a very lighthearted, fun experience.









I like the first one best. 

Have a good Christmas break! :)
