I faced two issues with the latter:

1. Access
2. Bad weather

I do not mind the rain, but models generally do not like to shoot when sheets of rain soak them to the core. I primarily shoot people, so I needed some willing participants to go outside with me. As the weather cleared up, I overbooked myself and managed three photo shoots this weekend.

I did not have any concepts in mind other than the need to shoot with natural light only. After a successful commercial shoot with Marketa Belonoha on Saturday (can’t wait to share those), I tried my hand with natural lighting in fashion photography. Here, I simply diffused some sunlight and added a little pop into the eyes with a reflector. I then decided to go with muted tones in post as I have seen this trend in recent fashion photography.

The results surprised me, and even though I lacked some confidence this weekend, I am glad I went out there to take pictures. My best advice to you if you suffer from photographer’s block: just keep shooting!
