Model 2 Photography

 Model 2 Photography

By: Sharmeen Shivji

After much scheduling, I was able to take pictures of my second model. We also did two outfits for her, one for the photoshoots in the back and then another for the table of contents.

So for Mahek, we actually ended up taking a bunch of photos at different locations as we both weren't feeling the ones we took originally. 

At the first photoshoot location we took a bunch of pictures however we felt like they weren't magazine enough. These photos were taken at her house since the background was going to be changed anyway. Here are the photos for the first outfit:

For the second outfit, which was for the close up shot we took in the same location. Again, we just felt like they weren't good enough for the full page magazine pictures. Also, we were out the night before so I just think we were both tired and just tried to get the job done as fast as possible. Here are the photos for the second outfit:

I thought I would just have to use these since we had no other option, however we ended up going out the next day to Superblue Miami which is an art museum and I thought that would be the perfect spot for photos. I was able to take a few of her there and they turned out perfect. We were both refreshed and awake for these pictures which definitely made a huge difference. Here are my favorite pictures from there:

Then, that same weekend we went out for brunch at Dior Café in Design District Miami and I was taking some pictures for Mahek's Instagram (which she didn't end up using) and  I thought they would be perfect for her picture in the table of contents. Here is my favorite from the Café: 

Mahek's photos were definitely a rollercoaster, but I am glad that we were able to take better pictures of her elsewhere. I honestly thought I would have to use the first ones we took, which aren't that bad but they just needed a little more to them. 

Here are the ones that I plan on using for my magazine:
