If anyone wants to take a look, this is the link to the directory. The photos are going to be used to promote next month's cookie sales in local publications. It was a tough shoot. First, I have no studio experience, very little experience shooting human subjects in any setting, and no lighting or flash equipment to bring to the shoot. Second, this wasn't shot in a studio, but in a narrow basement corridor under mostly dim fluorescent lighting. But I'm pretty happy with the results, given the circumstances, and the council folks loved them. I have DPC to thank for several tricks, simple stuff like using a reflective car shade yanked out of my backseat to shoot light up onto their faces and standing out away from the wall to avoid really harsh shadows. I would generally recruit a couple girls to be my photo assistants to hold the reflector, and I got to explain why I needed it and why you stand out from the wall, and such stuff whenever they asked, a little mini photography lesson. :-)
