A fun shot, bounce lighting with camera mounted flash and the room's overhead LED fixture left on. Canned post-processing filter (soft vintage look) applied after standard LR adjustments.
This was part of a colabrative shoot where two models we're featured side by side mimicking and interacting with each other via phone. The other model is on the screen of the phone and her images were done first. So the phone was both a prop and a reference.
The entire "concept" was this: The ladies had prop cardboard boxes that acted as "transporters". They started in one outfit, stripped down, put the outfits into the box and pretended to send them to each other. Then they pulled the other's outfits out and put them on. The entire time, they're texting photos to each other. The one wrinkle was we made our boxes at the same time and ended up with slightly different text on them. The other model lives in Texas and supplied the duplicate outfits so we could re-shoot if necessary without shipping outfits back and forth. I am having my wife contact her now to see if she'd be willing to share a couple of the compilations here.
Please post the other model as well.
OK,
Good news and bad news. The good news is our friends say we can show you a couple of the photos. The bad news is I don't have my compilations anymore, just the raw images.
At the end of the shooting phase of his fun exercise we sent each other our files, well over 100 each, and out of those we each created our own side by side images. They did 65 and I think we did right around 50. I don't think mine were better per say, but mine were definitely tamer. So, I can show you a couple of their compilations, but I don't have any of my pairings left. Chalk it up to the things we throw away when we need space and we think we have something "backed up" somewhere else.
I can say that it was extremely fun concept that I think could be done again. When we first started talking about doing a project together we had grand, green screen ideas. But when you start thinking about all the settings that need to be close to make it believable, camera height, light placement, focal length, etc you realize that you're going to put a lot of work into something and more than likely it's still going to suck when you're done. This session tells a funny story and it's easy to convey the interaction and not sweat the details.

Love the phone showing a competing shot of sorts - great idea. And that smile is always fetching.

Does the company make human sized transporter boxes? "Beam me up, Scotty!" :sm02"
Great ideas and presentations.

I'm curious as to how you connected with the other couple. Are they friends/acquaintances? UHH members (or will they be now)?
