All edited photos from my shoot. I think this shoot went very well but I did struggle a lot on what compositions would work. I have to learn to keep an open mind on poses and how to create them in different ways. I think because I had a time limit and a lot of people to photograph.

If you don't have either a specific image you want or the variety of images you are looking for it will be harder to get the final photo you will be completely satisfied with. However, saying that, having experienced people who are not camera shy and quite confident in themselves to pose also helps a lot more. Kit and Danni for example were excellent models, and working with them I could tell they were at ease with the camera. Rachel and Bridget were more wooden - still good photos come out from them but they were not as comfortable I would say.

The equipment I used in this shoot was a Canon 1000D with a 18 - 55mm lens.
Two flash heads and a soft light.
