anyways, not the point, the point is, I took 4 pictures and decided to play with them in a graphic way. In my head it looked a lot better, but I thought I would share since I haven't really done anything like this before and I would like to do it more.
The actual post for the shoot will come soon, I've procrastinated it way to long haha.

I like the last one best.
the graphic doesnt distract from the person in the photo, but instead it accents her being there.
i really like that last one too. i don't know the girl, but it suits the shot very well. the top three are neat as well, but i think the lines are a bit distracting. maybe if they were toned down a bit they would look a bit better. just a thought.
glad to see a new post...i guess that means i owe you one soon now too, huh?
I'm with funks. I love them all, but the lines are a tad distracting.
As far as the harsh sunlight & scattered shadows, I don't have an answer. I generally try to stay away from trees because they crate blown spots here & there & those are pain in the ass to try & fix. My two favorite ways to play with light right now include sunflare..I can't get enough..& positing the person directly in front of the sun. The light behind someone's hair can be really beautiful.
Other than that I try to stay in total shade.
I love you..and you need to take more pictures..
To fix the lighting issues, I suggest investing in some reflectors. They are fairly inexpensive and can make a world of difference in what you can accomplish in varying lighting situations. They can be purchased individually or in a combo kit. I suggest the white/translucent, for sure, and maybe silver and gold to start off. If you get the frames, like what holds an umbrella, you can still shoot alone. If you'd like a little more versatility and movement, you might ask a friend to be your assistant for your shoot. They can hold the reflectors/filters up and angle them how you need instead of having to stop and readjust your stands and mounts. Definitely play around with them for awhile!
I actually like the ones with the stripes the best. They look like they could be magazine ads.
