The final outfit that Mumtaz brought was a red sequinned red dress with a long slit up one side. Again it was a good opportunity to show off Mumtaz’s legs.

Unlike the previous shoots, I wanted this one to be slightly more relaxed. So, I brought in a black leather couch for her to recline on.

I asked her to think about a scene where she was relaxing after a night out on the town. Giving a model a concert also helps get them into the right frame of mind for the shoot.

The lighting did not change from the previous shots. The main light was in 1.5m octabox positioned camera right and at a 90° angle to Mumtaz.  

The grid was placed back on the the 7” reflector that was positioned camera left to act as a hairlight. 

As with the previous set on the stool gave Mumtaz a prop to interact with.

All of the images in this post were shot with my Lumix G9. The settings were 1/200s f8 ISO 200. The focal lengths were at 24mm.  Shooting so wide did mean that I was capturing more than I wanted. Fortunately Photoshop makes it fairly easy to remove elements you don’t want from the image.

The other impact of shooting so wide is that it makes anything close to the camera larger. In the final image, her legs are really emphasized.

It was a fun afternoon shooting with Mumtaz.
