For the first shooting I used the Setup #1. I used a soft box as main light and another light to make the white background more uniform. I experimented how using a reflector effected my pictures and how I could modify lights to make my model look good. I also explored several poses but keeping a very simple and classic look.
Creating the first shot I photographed my subject with a basket ball, I really like how the colorful ball looks in contrast with the more serious and formal dress. The ball doesn’t just give a good looks to the picture, its also tells us a story about our model.
For the second shot I pointed my attentions to the model’s face. I tried to give the Platon’s look to the picture in post production where I worked on shadows and colors.
I finished my shooting letting the model try new poses and we used a stool to give more dynamism to the picture.
