…but he probably shouldn’t quit his day job. Flight of the Concords references aside, here is my first fashion shoot featuring my friend Mike, a first-year film student here at Ryerson.
After seeing so many pastels in stores for the Pre-Spring collections and having such mild weather, I wanted to try to bring some lghtness into the average guy’s wardrobe of dark winter basics. Being able to get soft lighting for the price of free wasn’t a bad thing either. Thank you Mother Nature!
By taking these photos with a wide-open aperture and a decently slow shutter speed balanced with a low ISO, the light really did shine through. Unnecessary background elements were also blurred out to add emphasis to the model with after changing the focus factor for a narrower depth of field.
While the images originally came out with a very gentle and soft tone to them, a little Photoshop really made the images work without taking away the “glowing” effect given by the natural soft light. The contrast also added a graphic edge that I though better suited the style of men’s fashion photography.
Here’s to taking even better photos in the future!
