"Borrowed" prop for tomorrow's studio shoot
« on: October 05, 2012, 10:14:13 PM »
I'm assistant photographer for a glamor shoot tomorrow and was asked last minute if there is any way possible I can find a "scooter".

I found some Italian elegance, a precious friend let me borrow her new VESPA with only 600 miles on it. Snapped a few shots of her baby scoot in the rain on the way back from her beach house where she keeps it.

Quite nice haulin' it after all the bikes my truck has hauled to tracks

Was just looking at prices of scooters yesterday on Craigs for the wife, and was flabbergasted at the prices...

But the ladies are all over them if you get a real Vespa. I can't post pics of the actual photoshoot as they belong to the client...but here's an outtake.

This one thought she caught a bug in her teeth after our ride today? =)

Second shot is great Steve! Water drop make for cool pictures. Also, that little scooter looks to have top notch paint. They must be pretty well made.

Everyone loves/hates a critique, right?  The second pic, I personally woulda used the rules of thirds, maybe placed the logo down and right a tad.  I would say the pic is more of a portrait style.
Keep em coming Steve and please, disregard my rudeness ;D

Thanks and I agree. Those 1st two pics were "snapshots", I wasn't trying to do anything.

The studio shoot went well.  I posted the outtake pic for the laugh(its a snapshot too really) , and the others I can't because the real owner owns them now =)

Rule of thirds?  In model shoots rules are to be broken, the same mundane pics as people have been shooting since rule of thirds was taught in school is out.  Even the pics in Vogue, Cosmo, Playboy nowadays break that rule, plus its cool now to cut off a hand or  foot and in the old days that would've had one strung up according to my professor.
