Frisco, Emma & Weezy (Click to enlarge)
The parents of this incredible group inspire me every year. They come with their creative ideas, we stage them in front of the lights and backdrops, and Voila! Meet Frisco, in black leather jacket, Weezy, in her pink polka-dot dress, and of course Emma in her poodle skirt. They come into Sisters Pet Pics’ studio every year in October with their Halloween themed costumes and they use the resulting image for their Christmas card. They shouldn’t be surprised when Emma grows up to be an actress. She’s a natural. Every year it’s great, but in 2008 it was stupendous!
I decided to post this one today to inspire you as it inspires me. I’ve mentioned before that I often feel as if I’m on the set of a very short movie. A one frame movie. But it is planned as if it was full length. In my head the shot was with Emma and Weezy looking my way too, but my head was wrong…Emma and Weezy were right because this was the shot of the day. So today’s tip is to take many, many captures. The compelling nature of the images will be evident upon review on a larger screen. Sometimes your subjects know best as is the case with this group.
So get inspired yourselves! Stage your own mini movie and post your results here. We’d love to see them. Exif: 1/250, f11, ISO 200.
