For this fashion shot project, I used my sister, once again, as my model. It might be because me, being the photographer, and my sister, being the model, are in relation by blood sisters, so we're comfortable with each other. Regardless, I had fun shooting my sister.

At first, I felt overwhelmed with the project because I wasn't sure about what kind of "fashion" I should use, so then I thought my sister had a great white dress that would be able to contrast with her hair.

After school on a Friday is when we had the photo shoot. It was easier after school because no one was in the room, making it much more easier for her to open up to the camera. I had her do many different poses, sometimes even dancing, but all in all, this pose I remember specifically having her face away from me, count to 3, and then turn to the camera and pose. This was what I got.

After developing I made proofs of the shots. It was a lot of trial and error when it came to the shots because of the fact that I wasn't precise at all when I shot. In the end of all of the mistakes and what not, I basically chose three of my best shots, and narrowed it down to one.

In the process of photo shopping this picture, I decided to brighten the picture a little bit but also boost up the contrast between her hair and the dress. In all, I still feel like the picture is too bright, but I'm still learning. When it comes to adding text to make this more commercially fashion-y, I added text so the shot looked like it was apart of a look book for maybe a site like Forever21.com and what not.

Maybe in the future I could probably more the strobe light around at a different angle because I feel like the strobe light had a lot to do with why it didn't work as great as I wanted it to.
