Experimental Shoots

I run a photography business called Colored Arrows Photography
While I do take normal clients for all of the usual shoots: family, weddings, senior pictures, baby, etc.  My favorite shoots are ones that are for me.  The ones where I try something I've always wanted to try, or a style I want to experiment with.  That's what I'm trying to do more of these days.  Starting with this shoot I did last month with someone I've considered a best friend since 6th grade.

This shot is the one I keep going back to, so I think this is probably my top photo..for today at least.  If there's anything I've learned in all of these years of photography, it's that your favorite photos will almost always change.  That's good though, it shows growth.  There were other great shots from the shoot though. 

The main thing about this shoot that I'm still uncertain about is how I what them positioned.  I have these horizontal with her head to the right for now, but when rotated they almost could go in any other direction.  I just don't know what I like best.

 

Then there are these, which obviously work best in they way they were originally shot.

So I'm still playing with them some I guess.  But it was a lot of fun to do and I'm glad I finally got the chance.

What I like most about the shoot I think is the contrast of the water with the flowers.  That worked better than I could have hoped for.  I was worried it wasn't going to show up  blue enough but it was perfect.  Gotta love Lush Cosmetics for their bath bombs. Would love to do a color series with different models and different bath bombs.  So hopefully that will happen soon.

Big shout-out to my mom for having bushes in her yard that were still in bloom and for allowing me to steal them all to use for this.  This is one of the best smelling shoots I've ever done.  The smell from the flowers mixed with the bath bomb made for a very relaxing setting, even if it was one of the more weirder things I've asked my friend to do for me.

She's a trooper, gotta love her.💙💙💙
