Make the best of every situation
I treat photography as if so much depend on it. So, when i had 7 minutes to set up, fix lighting, compose and instruct i know i had to get it right. In most cases once i get the shot that i like or looking for it either set a more composed feel to continue the shoot or to finish up the shoot. So here we are at this beautiful, vintage looking farm house and i saw a lamp next to a window. At first when i asked the model to pose under the lamp she must have been wondering what in the world am i doing. But as for me i always try to see a shot before i shoot, how i want it and how it should look and also focus my attention on one key element in the frame to help enhance the feel of the photo. This key element was the lamp. This is the fastest i have ever shot. Not that i like it because i like to have the freedom with adequate time to carefully do a shoot but given the limitations i had no choice but to accept and make do. I took about 10 snaps then left. I went home, did my thing in Photoshop and this is the result. Moral of the story, “Make it right when things aren’t right.”
