One more. No smiling. One second. Stay like that. Love it. Relax for a second. Come up against the wall. Remind me what light we had on here for that. We had an h m maya brought each of my light it's a really expensive video light. We could have probably done it with the light panel, but we didn't have, like didn't get in yet. We don't have it here. So we took one of our studio lights out there, but we could have done the same same basic thing awesome, john, thanks for me, okay, so sure let me show the images and we'll take questions so do you see why I had to have her lips and exactly the right spot and that's why I actually I rarely do I do that but I actually had moved her face and this is again wells with the twenty seventy and how she's pulling down strap much more sexy unlike this hands on knees or with that grip so I kind of manipulated this one heavily I was just digging that freakin red black strike that's what the story is for me like her lips and that line right there. Um sorry before we get started on this one who cannot let the questions questions about the reflector and which side you use most and when and why it's okay, if I need a lot more like I'm gonna use the silver otherwise I try to use the white if we're outside and we'll use the gold weigh used the gold were in seattle kind of blew dull sky and so that just keep a little color into there myself ten did not use aren't the yellow gold ish reflectors a lot but it seemed to work with that red interior so yeah, I rarely used gold also but it worked really well depends on the situation do you use different expression a word depending if you use a model or a young customer or slightly older customers yeah, not really based on age used the same language but if it's a model versus a real woman yeah you don't hear me saying a lot great great. You know the real woman I coach a lot more I talk a lot more I say a lot more is great with the model I'm kind of ok going huh? I don't know if that's working because they're pros were collaborating you know, I'm never gonna tell a real woman that's not really working for me but with models and like no let's try and find something else I feel more like we're partners in it on and I'm left having to, like manage your feelings and sometimes I'm just really blunt with like, uh yeah can you put your ass over here do that? Uh so I just speak a little more plainly and a little bit more rial I guess again a lot of questions today in the chat room regarding touching the models and we touched a little bit about it yesterday. Can you again go over that tips for gentleman out there? Who right? If you want that sure, if you want to approach your model on dh, you need to make an adjustment whether it's her chin or her hair or strap or something it's always best teo honey, I feel so bad that it's always best to ask permission first um you can just say it once up front at you so you don't have to keep reminding yourself to do it but you're like, you know if I need thio adjust your hair or clothing from time to time is it okay if I do that? Uh you know, I kind of I kind of very touchy feely so um you know, sometimes I forget that I myself so like with the reflector do suggest like buying one and then just like trying to prop it up somewhere there's a little nightstand sweetheart get a stand okay, yeah um or if you have an old tripod and closet somewhere because thinking that gets a guy but a number of questions like about shooting outside yeah, so one is do you spend a lot of time scouting locations and if so what are you looking for? Oh that's such a good question and it's not like I set time aside to go okay, I'm going to go scout locations out I just day I'm always you know, I'm always like, oh, that would be great for you know something and like note to self um so I'm always looking for stuff so it's just something I do is part of who I am and stuff I'm gonna ask that question again because I had my like, off uh uh the question wass was when a lot of people are asking about shooting outdoors and, uh, whether you're scouting a lot or whether, what time? What kind of amount of time do you spend doing that? Right? So as I said, yeah, I don't set aside time of my day to go scout locations, but I'm always scouting locations kind of there, my normal daily life. Awesome. What else do you have for me from the chat room? Just last one e um yes, yeah. Observation I can totally see why hair and make up his own incredibly important, especially in this shoot, because if if she were to show without para makeup, the feel of it just would not be the same. Right? And it's not like that non pro could actually do that. Yeah, lindsay did a fabulous job and here's something I'm not shy about if you you can ask lindsey she got a little feathers ruffled, that's any but I'm like more cat I it's not gonna read on camera, shove everything like more more I think I said three times oranges like really like what I'm doing so again, you know you're you're driving this ship for both your car, whatever, um and so make sure you know, you ask for what you need don't decide about it because it's going to show up in your work what about shooting in front of ah location like um the tiffany store in new york city like if a woman really want to play off that theme can you have the name of that building in the shot without as being a course photographer without crossing a line legally you're commercially probably not um for a private boudoir shoot burger just a quick shot um that would be really cool actually and I would use all the guidelines I said on the previous slide get in get out I would already know in mind what I was going to do tell her setting the settings up and then just walk her in and walk around and so uh building again on the outdoors mh picks as I have some great locations for boudoir but I do still worry about people being able to see and how do you handle that and then somebody else had asked is it dangerous sometimes to be out with uh was not really clever right it's a good question but I think it's part of the awesome experience part of busting out of your comfort zone what's going to make it more thrilling and exhilarating and holy crap I can't believe I did that so you know and it's dictated by the client she's up for it she's up for it if she's like I don't know then you're not going to go there you want people you don't want to push past their comfort zones you kind of want a nudge where they're already kind of ready to go so you don't want anyone to do something they're super uncomfortable with but you could tell that you can always tell because they're a little excited about it you know that's kind of what I know on outside location how do you manage temperature if it's too cold for your customer get over it you know have a coat on and then take it off um we're not there a lot a long time and it's just for a little shoot I have to say girls they're great they're not I don't think they're complainers you know especially I've got great clients and they're just like so ready to do this and it's like so what I'm cold great have nipped freeze it's even hotter the car starts do shed on trains train track and the men are going by beeping horns you're like okay must feel desire exactly nothing wrong in that I have to go with what carlos said like yesterday would you?

Um, this is the goose bumps, and when she was fiddle around with your left hand, it just wasn't working, right? And so this is what I wound up, but I really wanted her. Yeah, so I was luli, fussing with her legs to get them in the right line and that's the last one, because I really wanted to see the red right, and I think that's, a who was fun.
