First Photo Shoot of the Year

Today I participated in my first photo shoot of the year, which was also my first remote photo shoot ever. Necessity being the mother of invention, in this time of worldwide lockdowns, photographic models who would otherwise have no way to earn a living have figured out the technology of doing photoshoots remotely over the internet. The camera is tethered to the model’s computer and operated through some local software, then the model’s computer desktop is shared with the photographer who can then operate the camera controls and take pictures. I connected with Anoush Anou, with whom I’d worked many times before, and we did a shoot with her in Ohio and me at home. It had its challenges but it worked out well. I was able to get some good images, and it was fun to finally be able to do some photography again. She had a Fujifilm XT-2 and we were shooting with only available light. Despite the day being a little more cloudy than we’d hoped for, we still got good quality images despite having to push the ISO a bit. I may try to do another of these, particularly considering my planned photo trip to Mexico was just postponed till sometime later in the summer.
