Taking Pictures

I know taking pictures definitely shouldn't be the last thing I did, but unfortunately I couldn't find any time to go out and actually take pictures. My schedule finally aligned with Addisyn's today, so we went out and took pictures with her as the model. The pictures I took today are going to be the ones for the cover page and the feature article. I need at least 6 original images, and 2 of them are going to be the ones from today, I'll need at least 4 more. Most of these are going to be pictures of beauty products and nails for the content page, but I might need another model just for the content page.

In order to get good quality and professional pictures, I checked out a Canon 90D camera along with a 18-35 lens from our TV Production program, which I am a part of. 

Addisyn picked me up and drove us to the location, since she has her license. We went to a nearby park, and we found a pretty spot next to a lake at around 6:30 PM. We wanted to catch the final rays of the sun on her, so I would get the best natural lighting possible. 

I bought a pack of clip on flowers to put in her hair and I had her pose in front of the lake as the sun hit her face. The pictures actually came out beautiful, and I haven't even edited them yet. Honestly I had a lot of fun shooting and I think she also had fun modeling. Here are some of the pictures we got that I really like:

I'm actually amazed at the lighting and the vibrance of the pictures. I have't even edited them. I was planning on setting aside time to edit, but the raw pictures came out so beautiful that I don't think I'll have a need for editing. 

I think I'm going to used one of the first 6 for the cover page itself, and then the others I might add into the content page. I'm super happy with the success of today. The next step is to obtain my other original images, such as those I will be using in my content page.

Thanks so much for tuning in, catch you later!
