"The Lost Woods"

A little while ago we went and did a photo exercise shooting with natural light, a reflector, and a tickle trunk of props and clothes. I think it's pretty difficult to turn the camera around and be the one in front of the lens, and we found that doing this helps us better understand how to communicate with people during a shoot that much better. It's a challenge trying to get the look or feel you're after, so taking on different roles along the way helps us learn all aspects of the shooting process and not just one element.

The light on this day was pretty awesome, and using a reflector to shine back onto the subject turned out to give some pretty great results. We threw a little sparkle in here and there for kicks, and a huge creature showed up at one point to help us out, too.

Here's the result, which we decided to post for fun!
