Miss Hertfordshire model portfolio shoot / Amy

Tamara Kuzminski — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 06:28:25 +0000

Amy won the Miss Hertfordshire competition this year, and as well as now representing Hertfordshire in the Miss England competition, she also won a photo shoot with me and a modelling contract with BMA Model Management. As Amy didn’t have a portfolio for her new modelling career, her modelling agency asked if I could build her a portfolio with her winning shoot.

We had a great team of people involved.

Finding the Light

Yesterday I had a photoshoot with models Vivienne and Katy. The purpose of the shoot was to push my boundaries and improve my technical knowledge when lighting people both with natural light and using flash creatively. Constant improvement is something that I believe very strongly about, as I never want to stand still and become stale as a photographer. This not only ensures that my clients are happy by keeping my images and products fresh and exciting, but also it’s a lot of fun being able to experiment! Dedicated training days and model shoots give you the chance to do things that you simply wouldn’t have the time to try out for the first time during a wedding when time is limited, and allows you to learn and get inspiration from other professional photographers.

Here are a few of my favourites from the day. I hope you enjoy them…
