Miss Hertfordshire 2010 - Behind the Scenes (Part 2)

Following on from my last post I wanted to share with you the business and leisure shots Tamara had taken with me shooting the behind the scenes footage.  Off camera flash for the Business shots was all that was required to capture Amy under the umbrellas in the gardens of Auberge du Lac

Miss Hertfordshire 2010 - Behind the Scenes (Part 1)

I had the pleasure of being asked to assist with a photoshoot at the stunning Auberge du Lac in Brocket Hall alongside the lovely Tamara Kusminski.  

I met Tamara on my recent visit to Bristol with the   The Photography Parlour.  The photoshoot was for the newly crowned Miss Hertfordshire - Amy Green.  Amy had won the photoshoot with Tamara by gaining the title of Miss Hertfordshire 2010.  Tamara wanted some behind the scenes shots of how the day went. 

I hope you take a look at the selection of shots and can see how much fun and work goes into a set up, lighting and composition.

The first set of photographs were to capture natural portraits for Amy to use for her commercial portfolio.

I learnt so much and it was great to be able to take time to think through a photograph and speak to other like minded people.


It was a real fun day where I got to meet all the lovely people I speak too on the photography parlour forum......
