So I recently went out on a shoot with a couple of aspiring actor/models. Adam came up with the concept of deciding, in advance on a couple of emotions. Then it was up to the photographer to direct the models to try and obtain an image that expresses those emotions.
I had gone there with the ideas of "lonely and desperate" and "happy and carefree". The "lonely and desperate" was definately achieved, but the "happy and carefree" proved more difficult. I did get a lot of good images and the whole exercise was a big learning curve for me so I was for sure satisfied. Adam and Maria were really willing to have fun and experiment so it was something well worth doing.
