Modeling photography- monomad daily chalenge

"I'm back with another photoshoot, this time focusing on modeling, specifically a classic-dressed gentleman. First off, I want to mention that the lighting in this shoot is a bit different. I recently completed an update course on lighting and photo editing. We have a broad-shouldered model with a great physique and a relatively full face. We took photos of him in various poses and angles. He was wearing a black tuxedo, and we used a light background, aiming for a fantastic black and white theme."

"We also captured some photos with chiffon draping, which gave us a great vibe and a good feeling in this location. I used a royal sofa and asked the groom to sit on it, positioning his legs so that both were visible and crossed. I paid close attention to the placement of his hands, ensuring that the pose didn't create clutter between his fingers or legs."

"I chose the light path from behind the window, ensuring that the light fully reached my model. To enhance the shadows, I used a black background. Our main goal was to capture different poses, such as when he was buttoning his jacket. We took both medium and long shots of this pose."

"The sunlight coming through the window acted like a large softbox, providing me with the desired amount of light. I usually ask my model to stand with his feet shoulder-width apart and turn about 45 degrees towards the light. This helps create Rembrandt lighting, resulting in correct, professional, and attractive lighting."

The photoshoot continued in the same area. I also created a practical light behind him using a lampshade decorated with flowers. Interestingly, our model owns a gym in our city, and his passion for fitness is evident in his physique."

"I hope you have a great day. I recently got a Tamron 20mm lens with an f/2.8 aperture for my camera body. I'm eager to try it out in a photoshoot soon, and I think today is the perfect day since the weather is great, and I have enough time."

"In this modeling photoshoot, the photographer highlights their updated lighting and editing techniques, focusing on a classic-dressed male model. The use of natural light from a window, combined with a black background and strategic posing, creates dramatic Rembrandt lighting. The photographer also incorporates practical lighting and various props, such as a royal sofa and chiffon draping, to enhance the composition. The model's physique and posing, along with the photographer's attention to detail, contribute to a professional and engaging photoshoot

"Thank you for staying with me until the end of this post, as always. I wish you happiness and health. Until next time, farewell."
