Sexy Shoot!
Monday, June 15th, 2009I’ve always considered people as one of the most interesting subjects in photography. Consequently, I believe they are one of the most challenging subjects to work with. So every time I’m presented with the chance to hone my skills further by taking portraits, I would almost always jump at it like a proverbial undernourished wolf on its prey. Growl!
A couple of weeks back, I got the opportunity again to shoot with some of my photography friends. And it just happened to be… (tada!)… a model shoot.
The theme for the shoot was along the line of “sexy”, which believe it or not, made it more difficult for me. Fortunately, the model we worked with was very apt for the theme. Her name is Jessie Medina (Jahziel Manabat), and she was just recently chosen Playboy playmate for March.
Here are a few of my takes from the shoot…
Jahziel was very professional and easy to work with. This made it a lot easier for me to get the shots I wanted.
But as my luck would have it, I experienced technical problems with my working lens during the actual shoot proper. This forced me to switch lens, and abruptly restricted my perspective for the shots I earlier planned. Ai ya!
Oh well… I guess that just means I have to get another try at shooting Jahziel again sometime in the future.
