Cool New model card photo shoot

Thought I'd share some images from a new model comp card shoot from last month. I'm finally getting around to posting blogs from previous shoots. Feel free to check out more images on my blog or visit my Facebook page to follow more of my work and tips (like blog posts right here on DPS). As always, thanks for the support from the DPS forums!

Great images Matt.. Thanks for sharing, have you covered "how" you took these somewhere? Might be nice to share a little of your setup info for some peeps? (If you have time!)

Hey Sime not a problem. These were all taken with a 35mm f/2 lens at shallow depths (around f/2.5 - f/4). The first two you see are under the shade of a bridge, pretty close to the shadows edge. This creates a very flat, panel type light or quasi-butterfly lighting. The last two were just after the sun had set as my model faced the sun, again to create the even lighting. Besides the specifics, if you'd like to know more about my philosophy on shooting, I have a few posts here on DPS.
