Jason The CreativeIn these Sony a7 portraits, I’ll breakdown my process of putting together this shoot and getting some amazing photos of local Dallas model Hanna.
I’ve been lucky enough to work with Hanna a few times over the last few years. We met on a TFP swimsuit beauty shoot in Richardson, TX and we have stayed good friends since then.
For this particular shoot, I was asked to come out to the lake and work in more of a natural light shooting scenario.
Lots of trees, and the lake as a background. It was a heavily wooded area but it made for a great backdrop to this portrait shoot.
Sony a7 Portraits with Hanna
The beautiful Hanna has stunning eyes that I knew would be the focal point of most of my photos.
The black dress styling and make-up were decided beforehand with the Make-up artist before coming on location.
We started the shoot around 6:00 pm knowing the sunlight would be dim around 7:15 and finally full sunset around 7:40.
We timed the shoot just right so we could catch the beautiful golden light coming from the sun.
What I learned from this beauty portrait shoot
Working on a beauty shoot during golden hour brings its own set of challenges. I had to work on the sharp shadows that were coming from all different angles onto the model.
I tried to keep Hanna in more open areas so the light would glide more smoothly and evenly over her face. Post processing included white-balance adjustments, and lightening up the images.
