I met Lisa and Anna the other night during the Flickr/Strobist shoot at a parking garage on the UW campus. They were just passing through with one of Allen’s friends, and while the guys were talking, I asked if they wanted to model for me. They hesitated for a bit but eventually agreed.
Once I got the OK, I setup a couple of lights next to one of the blank concrete walls, fired off a few test shots to get my exposure, then did a whole series of the girls individually and together. Lisa (on the left) was a little unsure about the whole thing, but I did manage to get her to relax and smile without looking too nervous and tentative. Anna (on the right) had no problems modeling for me. She seemed to be having a lot of fun, because it was tough to get her to not smile.
I’ve shown my picks from the shoot to Lisa and Anna, and they both love the shots I got. In fact, they’re both interested in doing another shoot with me. I guess this just goes to show that it never hurts to ask people if it’s OK to photograph them. It’s also good to have business cards on you, so those people can contact you later. ;)
More photos from my impromptu shoot with Lisa and Anna are available in my Flickr photostream.
