KC Model Shoot

The Kansas City Flickr group was in a discussion a few weeks ago about how the winter had affected our shooting. One member, Jim, mentioned that he had rented some space in a building in the city and invited the group to do some shooting in his makeshift studio. By the time Saturday rolled around, we had 4 subjects lined up, each with unique needs. A musician needed pictures of himself performing, 2 high-schoolers needed senior pictures, and a model needed to increase her portfolio. These subjects showed up, along with about 20 photographers and Jim's studio became a bustling hub of portrait photography. I was fortunate enough to borrow a sweet Canon lens from Jim, and it certainly made a difference in my photos. I met some other photographers, and we started shooting when the subjects arrived. Most of the day, I shot Sarah, the model in need of portfolio pictures. Sarah was very accommodating to the 10 photographers that were setting off the strobes and clicking away madly. The whole experience turned out to be a wonderful day full of hands-on learning and socializing with other photogs (with more knowledge and equipment). Here are some of the results. I will post more as I am able to get them processed.
