These are some test shots I made of Cody Rigby yesterday. I asked him to model for me in the studio so I could try a few things out in preparation for my shoot with Adam Hochhalter. Adam, better know as Apt, is releasing an album February 4th and has asked me to shoot the cover.
I’m excited to work with Adam, but also a little apprehensive. I’ve never really been interested in shooting with flash (if you look at my other photography blog, you’ll see that almost every photo there is naturally lit) until I was recently encouraged to by Mark Johnston.
Tomorrow is a new year and one of my photography related resolutions is to get good at using flash. Besides, the vision for the cover that Adam has would be best served by me shooting him in a different way then I’ve shot anyone else before. I think that it’s important that I try new things, even if they don’t initially appeal to me. I should really be doing everything I can to improve my skill set as a photographer.
Onward.
