Default Last-minute model.

So this friend of mine made a dress for a college project, and had persuaded another friend to model it for her, so that I could take some pictures. On the day we'd planned to do the shoot (the last day I was going to be able to as I was scheduled for treatment the next day that'd keep me out of the loop or three weeks) the model dropped out, and my friend had to get someone else to jump in. The dress had originally been made to fit a 5'7 woman in a size 14, and had to be adjusted at the last minute to fit a 5'10 size 8 model (that's UK sizes). Anyway, the stand-in model's nerves subsided about two minutes after I started taking pictures, and after I'd taken the pictures that my friend needed for her college project, she was happy for me to take a few pictures for my own collection, and she was really pleased with how they came out. The pictures for the college project have had a pegasus photoshopped into them - well, they've had a horse photoshopped in, with wings photoshopped onto it - but I had nothing to do with those.

Anyway, the first one was just to set up the light and reflectors, and framing, and the second one was one of the portraits she let me take at the end of the session. I'm looking forward to be able to get out again, so I can do another session with her.
