Cambridge Camera Club Portrait Group

A few shots from last night’s portrait session with the Cambridge Camera Club our model was Laura Draycon, she has been a full time model for two years. Working with professional models makes a world of difference in both the number of shots and the quality you get in a session. There were eight members of the CCC present last evening which is just about the right number so that everyone gets a fair amount of time on the set.

The Cambridge Camera Club’s Portrait Group

From the start of this winter I have been involved with our camera club’s portrait group. We have started to bring in the occasional professional model to pose for the group, last evening’s group had a real treat with a visit from Elle & her friend Sam. Both of them kept our small group fully occupied for the whole evening & we will almost certainly be inviting them back soon.

The next three shots where chosen by Elle from the back of my camera.

Studio portrait training day

On Sunday 18th January I attended a one day training course on studio portrait photography. These shots were taken on the course and are my stumbling first steps in posing a professional model. Now both the models, Bernadette & Dani are very professional and left to their own devices slip silently and quickly from one pose to the next as fast as the strobes flash but our tutor had instructed them to do nothing unless we had called for it, now I found this very difficult. We covered three different styles of modern studio photography. I am looking forward to next month’s course on lighting.

CCC Studio Day

This year I joined my camera club’s portrait group, we have recently started to use a professionally run studio using professional models with the intention of improving our portraiture skills. Although this is my third visit to this studio, this is the first full meeting of the CCC portrait group held at this studio in Newmarket on Saturday 17th.
