I Love Personal Projects

Over the last month, I scheduled three separate Time for Print Sessions.  The last one that I did was with a model/photographer name Dominique.  She responded to my Time for Print post.  Actually, I received several responses to my post, and it was difficult to choose a model.  I selected Dominique because I liked her look.  We scheduled our session for August 8 in downtown Austin.  I chose the same area that I used for the session with Allisa, but I knew that I would change my perspective.  I also decided to change the wardrobe. Initially, I was going to use the same outfit that I had Allisa wear.  However, when I looked in my closet, I saw the dress that I had worn several years ago.  I photographed another model in it a few years ago, and I wanted to capture it again.  

We met in the morning when the light was still soft.  We started with the black and white dress.  As we walked along, I saw this great wall with rectangular “windows” on it.  I liked the geometry and the color of the wall.

Once we finished with at the wall, we walked over to this great yellow wall.  I wanted to wait until the sun was a little higher in the sky before using it.  I knew that the yellow would pop even more.

Once we finished with the dress, we switched to the black tube dress, Converse shoes, and a blue jean jacket.  I brought one of my statement necklaces to add a little glam to the look.  We found this amazing mural, and I had Dominique pose in front of it.

As we made are way back to our cars, I had her pose at the same location that I photographed Allisa at the week before, but in a different area.  You would never know that it was the same location.
