One of my favorite things about being a photographer is trying new things, working with different models and pushing my work. A few weeks ago, I was able to work with Jenna Johnson. I’ve been following her on Instagram and I have been a huge fan of the work that she has been involved with over the past year.
A few weeks ago I got the opportunity to do a shoot with her at Green Lake in Seattle. The goal of the shoot was to do a fall fashion shoot and capture the amazing fall colors that we found in the Green Lake neighborhood here in Seattle. It was also a chance to test and push my lighting. Over the past few months I have been trying to learn more about working with studio and strobes. I have been using a Aputure Lightdome II a lot recently but I really wanted to see how different modifiers would ultimately shape the light. I ended up renting a 60” Westcott Umbrella and my Lightdome for this shoot .
Ultimately, I feel that this shoot was a huge success. I ams super thrilled with how the images turned out and I feel like the combination of the lighting, the location and the styling really helped push these images to a new place.
Big thanks to Jenna for helping me bring these images to life. I couldn’t do this without you. I’m looking forward to working with you again soon.
