Drop Outs and Cancellations



The second of my fashion tests planned for 2010 involved 2 models this time. We originally found a great looking model who was fairly local to my studio, but a week before the shoot she contacted us to say she had broken up with her boyfriend and as such couldn't make the shoot because she'd been crying too much! That was definitely a new excuse for me! We managed to find a replacement, but she then cancelled the day before the shoot! We weren't feeling overly optimistic of finding a replacement at such late notice, but we managed to find Claire Randle and Nicola Paul.

I was particularly excited for this shoot because Hasselblad UK had lent me one of their baby H3DII-31 cameras for the day so I could really get to grips with it. It was a long day, but we got some great images and had a lot of fun with our 2 replacement models and Leanne Bisson's awesome make-up! Check out the video below and make sure you leave a comment to let me know what you think.

At least your model drop out let you know they weren't coming before the day, but still not great and understand frustration.

You always make such cool videos, I feel I need a private lesson! lol Awesome. And also, I think I need to start sitting more on the floor when shooting cause that seems to do wonders for your images :)

It's a mistake I see a lot of photographers make! If you shoot from eye level, you'll shorten people's legs due to perspective! So when shooting full length I often sit or sometimes even lie on the floor!

The blad, as always, was awesome! I just love the files I get off them! Image size aside, the quality and detail is just untouchable!

I watched the Behind the Scenes vid of this shoot on You Tube. Such a cool shoot, I'm so jealous. Well done.
