Tonight was a fun shoot--portraits, but not really, fashion, but not really, old school film style, but not really. "I'm going to buy a cigar!" was an email I got earlier in the day....I knew it was going to to be a fun night of shooting. I didn't really count how many shot we took tonight, but it was a bunch and I feel really good about the range we achieved--everything from smoky atmospheric moody stuff to down right gorgeous glamor. Sara did a great job being loose and rolling with the poses and trying whatever seemed right with the light and the smoke and the clothes. We originally wanted to get sort of an old school film sort of look and found thats harder than you think to achieve, but I think we used that as a good jumping off point to make some pretty neat portrait/style shots. I really liked this one, its the only one I took out tonight to tone because I must get up in a few hours to teach, but I felt this one with its overall smoke and mood was very close to what we started out to get.
