Monochrome Monday - Aoife
Frustrated with the constraints of organizing "strobist" shoots, I did a whole series of spontaneous night shoots a couple of years ago. No stylists, no lighting, no planning..
While technically riddled with flaws, they were some of the most fun shoots I've ever done, and I learned a lot in the process. This is local creative Aoife (pronounced "Ee-Fah") who agreed at short notice to running around the city taking random photos.
When you're not concerned with styling, lighting, or location constraints, the photos can feel more genuine and candid. Indeed, the models expressed themselves and got more involved in the creative process during this series. Shooting in low light without getting too much noise was achieved with a combination of a modern full frame camera with good ISO performance, along with a wide aperture lens. More from this series soon.
Model: Aoife
Canon 6d + Canon 50mm 1.4
Excellent work, @condra, I like that warm sepia tone you've added. Fits your model perfectly.
Thanks a million. And cheers for bringing more people to my page.
That favour you can return

Gotta love that 50mm lens, such a good performance L series.
And ofcourse great photos.
I shoot Nikon now, but yeah I miss that lens. I think I only paid like 200 euro for it.
Great pics!
Thanks Thomas. Following you now :)
Thanks. Black and white gives such a different perspective compared to color photography.
Cheers, yeah there is a different mood altogether.

OHHHH I LOVE this! So much character. The second shot the most - the way the light almost radiates off her. Do you have stock/resource work around?
Cheers. I do shoot stock for shutterstock, but mostly flowers etc. Shots of people require model releases for Shutterstock so it's not always worth the hassle. Yeah she looks crazy in that second shot doesn't she?!
