Todays Shoot - Jessie Lee (NSFW)

If you know me decently, or follow much in my life, you know Jessie Lee is my old roomate, one of my best friends, and one of the beeessstttt people on earth.

She was up here staying at the house for the weekend, so we got a chance to shoot her for the corpse paint project

more info on that here: www.jeremysaffer.com/corpsepaint

So we did a quick 20 minute shoot because we both felt like complete garbage (and as a testament to that, both fell right asleep when we got home from the shoot)

We started off on white - shooting with 2 3x4 soft boxes on compact 300s - split lighting - at 100%

I shot this at ISO125 - at F16-18 - at a 160th.

I got to play around with my 24-70 2.8 L USM Macro lens a bit too!

See three images below (these were shot with the 70-200 2.8 IS L

























































For the rest of the shots I used a boomed beauty dish at 50% power - as high up above the model - pointed straight down. I pulled it pretty far away from the background in order to have the white go dark grey, and give a solid midtone to really make the mids hit hard for this - which is perfect for the black and white makeup. As you can tell, I really liked shooting close up/partial face shots with the 70-200 and the 24-70






































After finishing up on white - we switched it over to black and I experimented a bit with the 24-70 macro - doing close ups and such - I'm still getting used to the range of that lens so I didnt use it alot, but I'm sure over time itll become an integral part of my arsenal as time goes on.



















Jessie was another GREAT addition to this project, I think the end result will be pretty amazing.
