Woot!!
No stress cause it's a friend, but still the stress of wanting to do it right!
No studio, we're going to meet by the river in one hour (I hope the sun will be at a good angle still!)
I told him to bring a dark grey and a light beige shirt since I don't want any distracting color (It's for a casting photo and they must be color now, no more black and white).
I'll bring also a white board that he can hold to get more even light .
It is sunny outside but smoggy cause of high humidity, so I think the shadows won't be too bad...
Omg I'm so nervous!!!
If I get him good photos, it could open some doors to me!!
Doing this for free today as he is also my casting agent.. can't charge him when he's the one giving me work :p
But he has been giving out my name and number to others in need of photos, just no one has called yet..
Ok... getting ready.... hands are already sweaty!! :RUN:

I'll post some when I get back!!
Send me all some positive vibes please!!! :love:

Woot it went well!!!
He was late due to construction traffic, and when he got to the meeting point it had even started to rain....
We started the photo shoot under a tree, and when the rain was light enough, we moved to a better spot and finally the sun was peeking out a little!
One thing I learned is that the first half of a photo shoot, is only to get the subject relaxed, and the best pictures are near the end of the shoointg :)

Anyways, enough babbling and here are the 5 best (to my liking):









and my REAL favorite:
