scouting

Part of this photography gig is scouting locations … sometimes that means I drive around looking and sometimes it’s checking out a predetermined spot. In this case, I’m shooting a wedding in the heart of the city in a couple of weeks and I wanted to check it out ahead of time. I’m not going to give anything away yet because the place is just that cool …  but I did take a couple of test shots of Kiana … just to see how things *might* look …  in a few choice spots.

The lighting is really really really pretty in this very urban place. What makes me smile about these is that her hair gets super curly and frizzy in the humidity – she’s going to hate it but I think it’s cute – my little ragamuffin.  And … you can clearly see where she cut her own hair earlier in the week … classic. I’m hesitant to cut the one piece she clearly missed right in the middle because there are times when it does a good job of concealing the evidence when her hair isn’t pulled back. It sure looks silly right now. Whatever … it will grow. Anyway … the great light in this place is going to be so awesome, especially with subjects that might hold still for more than a millisecond!
