Bank holidays are notorious for bandit weather and this Saturday’s second shoot with Silvai was no exception. She wanted to do another location shoot with blossom and other Spring backdrops.
I had come prepared for this, bringing an umbrella, fleecy towel, and snacks. Conditions turned from hazy sunshine and moderate warmth to torrential rain during my hour-long drive to our destination.
As before, Silvai was immaculately prepared and determined to make the very best of our time together. Her self-awareness and my relatively fast shooting meant we were able to cheat the weather. Results were mutually pleasing.
Silvai prefers very subtle editing in terms of colours and contrasts. Given her present hair colour, I fancied something a little bolder, so I gave her what she wanted while taking a more mix n’ match approach for mine.
These were captured using natural light, my Sony A6000 and A6300, defaulting to the 50mm 1.8, with the occasional switch to 35mm 2.8 lenses and a small, hand-held reflector.
