My first fashion shoot - a day in the city with Bethany

I had a great day on Friday. A lady I met on Facebook liked my street and stage photography, and asked me to shoot her in the city so that she could use any photos she liked for her portfolio. It's a win/win scenario as far as I'm concerned, as she gets her photos and I gain experience. A genuinely lovely girl, she's a part-time burlesque performer, competitive dancer, and marathon athlete - and her name is Bethany. She has a great sense of dress style, and regularly wears rockabilly-style gear everywhere she goes. She is heavily tattooed, and while I don't care for them normally, hers are really feminine and reflect her life choice as a vegan vegetarian. I won't say that I'm converted, but they really work for her in a very positive way.

The Olympus OM-D got to wear just one lens for the whole day - the standard Olympus 12-50mm f/3.5 kit lens. For a kit lens it is quite exceptional.

Here are a few sets from those of the 948 shots I took which have been processed so far.

I must say that her look is so classically Audrey Hepburn, that she must have strained around seventy thousand bloke's necks as they walked past on Friday. And girls. Photographing in front of a small crowd is a new experience. LOL
