Female portrait photo shoot for Natalia

Based on the goals and concepts, the image was created on a clear understanding of the expected result. During the upcoming female portrait photography, it was determined to use 4 looks: the first is a bright red jumpsuit, the second is a leather bodysuit, the third is a white blouse with jeans and the fourth is a denim jacket with a white T-shirt. Natalia has slim body, clean skin and lively hair. The model f took the clothes from her own wardrobe, which was supposed to be in the project. We only discussed the compatibility options and quickly reached a consensus. On styling and make-up, we decided to make light curls and day makeup, without large shadows, so that the model would look as natural as possible.

We approved the photo session to be held on a weekday, since the model had the opportunity. It was April and the weather on the day was variable cloudy. The shooting itself took place in the afternoon, at the moment of maximum solstice. For the photo shoot we approved the usage of the Icon Photo Studio, that gave us the opportunity to reveal the intended image in full. In the studio, the minimum time for renting was 2 hours, and that is why it was possible to set a folding background. Thus, we had 2 hours to shoot and we were provided with the necessary red background for the project.

By the time Natalia arrived, a makeup artist was already waiting for her to prepare for a photo shoot in the dressing room. In advance all the details of the image were agreed and approved. The model was met and. While there were gathering, the courier delivered flowers to the studio, so the roses were as fresh and beautiful as possible. After finishing the preparation, we started the photo session. By the beginning of the shooting in the hall we had already collected portable backgrounds and without spending time on the side, immediately began to work. I did most of the shooting with 50mm portrait lens. I used the diaphragm at f/2.2-2.6 to get smooth and organic blur. General plans made at 17-35mm, at f/4 to capture the scene in sharpness. All shooting took place exclusively in natural light. At that day was the planned weather and this created the necessary conditions for the photo shoot of the female portrait. The model was working very well during the shooting and, which allowed us to make 4 images in 2 hours.

At the end of the photo shoot, we received more than 300 original photos in raw format. Usually, for one image it takes at least 1 hour. And in ideal conditions 2 hours, in order to work out comprehensively. In this case, in 2 hours we managed to make 4 images. Following the selection, we went to 230 photos, approximately 50 per image. Then we coloured all the material, it took more than 5 hours of work. In color correction, we did not use presets, but did everything exclusively in manual mode. Enhanced the saturation and brightness of colors, increased sharpness and black tones. Further, the model selected the best works for retouching, by subjective perception. In retouching, we mostly worked with folds on clothes, and made light skin cleansing. The result is presented on this page.
