Emily Pothast
The shoot with Emily Pothast was my first attempt at shooting outside in the elements. It was a partly cloudy day and the sun was in and out of the clouds and there was also a camera shaking. This was the first and favorite shot of the day with a 4 second exposure.
Then as I tried the same exposure again but the sun went behind a cloud and underexposed the shot.
Even a slight breeze would make my camera shake and the canvas backdrop flop around. I quickly abandoned the great outdoors for the safety of the studio and the predictability of studio lights.
Emily was the first person that had an extreme sensativity to the 600w halogen lights I was using and it made it very difficult to light her and get a reasonably short exposure time. This shot was 30 seconds with both lights lighting barely pointed in her direction so she would not tense up her brow and make her eyes squint.
