I photograph a lot of people, but usually they're doing something: working on their car, riding their bike, playing their guitar, etc.
This weekend, I participated in a modeling workshop: just models, lights and whatever was in the area. The shoot took place in a few alleys in downtown Sanford, Florida. Despite the scenery changes, we're more or less talking about just two alleys that meet at a T.
I haven't done photography like this in a long, long time, but it was a fun learning experience. The group was welcoming, and the vibe can best be described as organic and collaborative.
The evening's theme was Pop of Red. Here are a few shots–all right out of the camera, but since it's a Fujifilm X100V I could add some grain and film simulation for warmth–and you can find more on my Instagram.
Thanks and enjoy.

And kinda funny, but the second photo was taken behind a bar or restaurant or something, so through the black screen we could see people doing stuff.
Hate that I couldn't make it out that day, but I finally got around to buying more film for my camera.
A long, long time ago my then-employer sold a franchise to a nice young man who had just spent a few years in Europe as a model and had come back with very few financial worries. (His girlfriend teased him that his best memory was buying a Ferrari on his Amex.) Anyway, our standard questionnaire for potential franchisees included a question along the lines of "What did you learn from your previous employment?" He put "Punctuality." So there you go.
And posted a few more photos to IG. Fun times.
I brought some film cameras, too, but was having too much fun with the X100V–plus was a little concerned with the lack of light.
In reply to Stealthtercel :
Punctuality is rather important. (Note that Chris and I were 45 minutes early for this morning's shoot.)
I've been around here long enough to remember a certain issue involving models that rankled a few readers . . .

Which was the one that had a feature of our Challenge car.... Rough to send that one to our parents.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
So did you learn anything? :)
Given the ability of cameras- it seems that positioning the model around other objects is more important with human subjects- since 1) the focus can be changed from general to specific because 2) humans are small enough to be able to do that.

I'd do stuff like this if it was a car shoot.

Yeah, learned a bit. I didn't do any positioning–just let things happen and learned the ropes.
So, what to do with these photos beyond sharing via Instagram?
I make magazines and zines, right, so how about a photo zine?
It went to press last night. :)
