I recently had the privilege of being invited with my colleague Vince Chow (of www.vincechow.com) to a behind the scenes look at a fashion photo shoot with Nhi Le (of www.noyophoto.com). I have to say that snapping a few photos and learning the process from a photographer’s point of view provided me with some pretty good insight and knowledge of the craft on this first go around and I can’t wait to look in on some more in the future!
The styling team consisted of Amber Sheikh (based out of Ottawa) and Erum Sheikh (of Storm Salon) on makeup and hair respectively, and Martine Beausoleil (of www.harricana.qc.ca) as coordinator all of whom worked with the gorgeous Lindsay V. (from Numa Models).
I was told the process started early (7:00am the day of daylight savings) and the first photos didn’t take place until around 10:30 or so.
The day was unforgiving in the cold weather but everyone was professional and as luck would have it, that would be the first sunny day in quite some time.
Consisting of four different clothing changes with matching hair and makeup, Vince and I looked in on two of them while out and about the rest of the day on our own project downtown.
My personal thanks go out to Nhi Le, Amber Sheikh, Erum Sheikh, Martine Beausoleil and Lindsay V. for being so open and inviting on the shoot and allowing myself and Vince access to observe and learn.
Very cool!
Thanks! I thought so too!
