So a while ago, I joined a networking website for photographers and models but to be honest I didn't really give it much attention and my account had been dormant for some time. Then, I got a surprise email from someone called Mandi See, a cool, but unlikely name, for a slightly cuckoo (in a good way) and creative girl (checkout her youtube, website, facebook)
Mandi See
Mandi was interested in doing a TFCD shoot, this means 'Time for CD' and is basically where photographers give their time, skill, experience and equipment in exchange for a models time, skill and experience and both parties benefit their portfolio. After the shoot the photographer gives the model a copy of all the photos on a CD. Talent can vary on both sides, depending on who you are working with, though I thought Mandi was great and fun and hopefully she liked the end result.
Location and Look
Mandi was after a particular look, a slightly bohemian fashion look. We were both keen to shoot outdoors and she knew of a good location close to her; Little Middleton Tythe Barn. I checked it out online, saw some good photos so we set a date.
Result!
We shot for about 2hrs and these are some of the photos from that day
What I learnt today
- You need sand bags if you want to shoot outside with an umbrella on even a slightly windy day
- Tythe Barn is an excellent location
- People can be very different from their persona
Awesome
