Giving a client multiple opportunities to see and ultimately buy a lot of different looks is something Jai preaches repeatedly.
Here we get to see that those opportunities do not always mean dramatic differences or require a whole wardrobe shift. Often just slightly altering the components of a shoot in the smallest ways brings dramatic differences to the final images.
From reflectors to v-flats, using bounced lighting is common. In this segment of Jade’s shoot, Jai does the opposite using the black side of the v-flat to absorb light and carve out the client's features for a very editorial-style image.
Continuing the thought process of culling images is a critical step in making sure that only the best images are edited we spend time going through all the photos from Jade’s shoot with Jai. Jai talks through her process of image selection and what she looks for in each photo and why.
In this assignment, Jai challenges you to add editorial elements to your shoot. Be it color or negative fill, the point of this assignment is to get you to bring new elements to your process.
