Ella's little red riding hood inspired shoot - original photography (Four images inside)

Recent shoot from the weekend. Ella starring as Little Red Riding Hood. My usual Nikon D750, trust 70-200 f/2.8 and 24-70 f/2.8. A little bit of off camera flash, but not too much.

This shoot was easy to edit, as I focused on getting as much right as possible in camera. Lighting conditions were good, the location was one very well known to me, and the model was excellent at following directions!

The shoot was mostly inspired by her mother, and it went well. I've done some family portraits for their extended family and a birthday party (and obtained currency in exchange for my services) - a huge boon for a photographer - so all this Time for Print work that I have been doing is starting to come to fruition.

Now that you've had the rambling explanation - have the pictures!

Yes, it has a lens flare. Yes, I was using a lens hood. Yes, I also used external flash as a full light.

In total, I delivered 16 shots from this shoot - these are the strongest ones.

I'm getting better at shooting efficiently, and ensuring my exposures are spot on. Spent about two hours on location, and about another two hours selecting and processing, along with ever so slightly editing these images.

Four hours work, plus an hour there and back - five hours in total!
