Portrait Photo Shoot with Coultish Model Spencer

June 24, 2017 by TRWPhoto-99 Leave a Comment

I spent an hour in the afternoon with Spencer to help build up his portfolio. We had such good time walking through downtown Victoria BC, looking for interesting spots to shoot. We started near the coffee shop and realizing that he had several potential outfits I asked him to start with a simple black outfit and placed him against a brick wall in the shade. Then he did a quick change and found another interesting wall. He changed again and we went off to find a location near the waterfront. Spencer was fabulous, interested and very professional. We shot on the docks and then ended on the top of a garage where he spotted a tall wall. He suggested he jump up and I took photographs of him against the city skyline and blue skies. So much fun 🙂

Portrait Photo Shoot with Coultish Model Jenna– Behind the Scenes Model Photography in Victoria BC

Had the pleasure of shooting with the enthusiastic Jenna yesterday. She was a lot of fun to work with and kept up easily with my quick pace of changing locations and moving through poses so quickly. She was fabulous. We managed to cross over from one side of Victoria to the other in search of interesting locations and fabulous light and think we found some good spots. Jenna had a fabulous idea for posing in the alley so we tried that and it was amazing. (see below her flipping her hair down and adjusting her heels in the Fan Tam Alleyway). Super happy with the shoot. 🙂

Portrait Photo Shoot with Model Tanya – Behind the Scenes Model Photography Video

Had a fabulous shoot this evening with Tanya, just as the sun went down. The rain was a bit too strong for our original location choice but I remembered the gazebo at Government House and so I took the opportunity to practice using leading lines, framing and finished up practicing my close up shots. I think we got some good shots for her portfolio. Let me know what you think.

Camera Equipment Used

Sony A6000

Portrait Photo Shoot with Coultish Model Barbara – Behind the Scenes Model Photography in Victoria BC

I met up with Barbara today of Coultish Models to help her add some relaxed lifestyle photos to her portfolio. With the sun out and not a cloud in the sky and without an assistant to hold a scrim we decided to head into shade of the woods at Beaconhill Park. We found some shady spots to photograph the lifestyle, portrait and vlog shots. It was an absolute pleasure working with Barbara as she was so calm and patient as we got the right angles for the background and available light. I shot the entire hour with natural light and only used the reflector as a spot to kneel 🙂

Had another fabulous photography shoot with professional model Alicia Maclaren in downtown Victoria. Alicia is another model represented by Charles Stuart International Models out of Vancouver and they’re known for finding huge names in the modelling industry such as Coco Rocha.
