[Photo] I like a challenge
7 Aug 2009 10:43 pmTaking photos of people who are confident with how they look is dead easy (prime example, Nikolai from a bit further down at the Roost. He'd never done any modelling but he's confident with his body so he was a natural poser) but there are some who will run away every time a camera comes even near them.
So Maria challenged me to take at least one good photo of her friend Ruth who allegedly never used to like any photos of herself. So I did. :o) Here's one and for completeness sake, one with Maria, too.

Maria is a former colleague and good friend of mine. Contrary to what you might think, she's not a professional model, just a stunning woman with classic looks.
The last time I'd taken photos of her was quite a while ago so we grabbed this opportunity for some new shots.
She also brought a friend who kindly assisted with outfits, makeup and holding a reflector (and got dragged in front of the camera for a shot or two as well).
Here's a little glimpse of what we got up to:

I was actually a bit nervous to work with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
druidess1982 because she's a highly experienced and professional model but we immediately got on well and bounced ideas off each other. I felt really comfortable and confident working with both of them (I took some solo shots of her partner while she got ready and then took a series of couple shots) which I think shows up in the results. We are all very pleased with the results and I can't wait to go through everything we did. The following is just a little glimpse.
All shot with available natural light at The Roost.
