I've needed some of the typical (cliché) weight loss photos for a project at work. We have bought many stock images in the past, but I wanted to get in the studio and make some that were my own. I hadn't done much of this kind of shoot, so I figured it would be good practice on the lighting, posing and post-processing. Though I have no intention of making a business in stock photos, I've wanted to shoot some of my own project needs.
Most of the shoot was done over white because for my projects I typically need to cut it out from the background and place it in another composite design. My model Terrie was great to work with and offered a variety of looks. I'll post a few samples from the shoot (we shot 375, I whittled it down to 66 keepers). I was happy with the results and look forward to doing a few more to fine tune some of what we did.
