Katie on a Location Portrait Portfolio Shoot in Sheffield


Katie...XI, originally uploaded by Jon W. Howson.

It has been a long time since my last update, mainly due to looming deadlines for the college course that I have been attending. In this post is my first shoot with Katie. It is, I think, one of her first with a photographer other than herself. As a first time model, she seemed to be very self confident in her posing, and adapted quickly to her surroundings. The images where shot in and around Whirlow Brook Park, which is quickly gaining in my liking for a place to shoot. The park has a variety of different locations on offer, ranging from a hall and it's gardens, to small lakes and ponds, wooded areas to rockerys.

Another reason for a long time between postings is a mass culling of my photostream over at flickr. I have now imposed upon myself a rule that if a photo has not gained 100 views within a month of posting, it will now be deleted from my stream. This has been done as an effort to improve the quality of my stream. I had been going along the lines of quantity instead. I feel that this has made my stream stronger in content. Please visit the stream to see for yourself.
