With social media now well established as the new "portfolio", there’s a never-ending need for new images. Time is a luxury, that not many photographers, models, or make-up artists can spare, so the idea of creating a whole new set of portfolio-worthy images in a single session is very appealing.
The secret to making a portfolio builder day work is all in the planning and that’s exactly what photographer Gavin Hoey did to prepare for this photo session. Gavin has three very different looks in mind and three hours to photograph them. Luckily the model was pre-briefed with mood boards and came prepared with a selection of outfits to match the three themes.
Gavin starts off with a fine art-themed session. After taking you on a brief tour of his small home studio set-up, Gavin maximizes the time by adding extra props and a wind effect without moving the lights.
After a change of outfit and lighting, the next set-up is a simple high-key look using a basic white wall as a background. Here Gavin gains some extra photos by hanging some white sheets in front of the white wall which creates a whole new look using a single Flashpoint speedlight.
Finally, Gavin sets up a silhouette profile portrait. Working in black and white he carefully positions a Flashpoint AK-R21 projector to illuminate a small strip across his models' eyes for a theatrical final photo.
