Earlier this year I had the opportunity to shoot another beautiful model named Kelly in Tennessee. We had access to the beautiful Swann Stables in the city of Sevierville, a vast property often booked for events and with a seemingly endless array of photoshoot possibilities.
Although Kelly and I shot a lot of different sets and themes, an unplanned opportunity for her to don a wedding dress came up in one of the beautiful, large rooms we had access to in the main house. The wedding dress was just hanging up in the room as a prop, and Kelly wanted to try it on to take a few fun shots. We just used the ambient lighting in the room that was provided by very large and tall windows. In these photos, the window was camera right just out-of-frame. Fill lighting provided by other windows in the room really gave her a nice soft look. All shot with my trusty old Olympus OMD-EM5, with the Panasonic-Leica Lumix 42.5mm/1.2 Nocticron lens, and all at 1/100 second, f/1.2, ISO 320:
I did hint that we were at Swann shooting for other things. Here is a preview of some of the other things we shot for the Real Fangirls Facebook page (although I did throw them up on some of my other social media). Click on the thumbs to see full size along with EXIF/strobist information in the captions. I can't wait to show you the rest of the photos soon!
Here's a quick behind the scenes video clip of Kelly that I took while my friend Adam was also doing some shooting:
Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel as I've got tons of behind-the-scenes model photoshoot videos to upload ;)
By the way, would you like to see/meet Kelly in person?? She will be signing autographs of her sexy prints and taking pictures with fans at Fanboy Expo this Friday and Saturday at the convention center! Surprise---I'm there signing autographs, too! ;) We hope to see you guys there so we can tell you what we have in store!
Many many many special thanks to the kind and beautiful Shari Coleman at Swann Stables for allowing us to shoot there. Seriously, it is so beautiful there that it will enhance whatever special event you might be thinking of having. Please check out their site. Also, special thanks to my friend and lighting assistant Adam Phelps for the help and hookup.
