“What you doing”
“Nothing much just charging batteries”
“Wanna shoot”
“Yeah could do I don’t have a clue what we'll shoot”
This was as unplanned as a shoot can get but we just wanted to go out and shoot. I ended up taking a flimsy little soft box out with me to shoot which wasn’t even square the sides had all bent in but I realized it’s the most portable softbox I own. It was my first purchase that hinted I was getting serious about this whole photography malarkey and ever since I’ve always just upgraded my equipment. If its lights I got bigger lights, modifiers got fancier, cameras got more megapixels but I never really brought another small softbox that I could just chuck in a bag when I just wanted to go out and shoot away from professional work. These portraits if you can call them that are lit using a softbox for the shots in the forest and a little LED panel for some of the other shots, which I got of amazon for a few quid.
It was refreshing to shoot something without any expectations I find myself in situations where I’m always following a brief or there is some sort of expectation I have to aim for when photographing. So today no rules were set, we walked around the city and photographed away as if I was learning all over again.
