Morgane in the garden

The final pool shoot in the series that I had booked was with Morgane. She is both an experience model as well as a photographer.  The shoot was different on a number of rules from the previous three.

Firstly she was not interested in doing a shoot in the studio. She requested that we shoot around the garden under natural light. The second difference was that she likes to edit her own images so images from the shoot receive minimal processing from Me before they were provided to her.

We planned the shoot for the early evening to ensure that we had the best light based on the experience from the previous three pool shoots.  As I was not going to be restricted by the size of my studio I decided to shoot differently. I fitted my Sigma 50mm f1.4 prime to my Nikon Z6ii and all of the images were taken with that. It is a great lens but not when you are in a tight situation and trying for full length images.

Because I did not want the background to be in focus the camera was shooting at f1.4 using aperture priority.  This meant that the shutter speeds ranged from 1/160s to 1/400s.

Morgane brought some variations in her outfit and towards the end of the shoot we brought in the watering can so that it was not static posing.

At the end of the shoot I had a pose with my vintage camera that I incorporate in all of my model shoots.
