Kelly

September 8, 2011

Kelly (“The Ka”) is one of those well-known Halifax models that I just never got around to working with until my most recent trip. She’s a tiny little thing but she still brings the awesome. I’ve always thought she’d be a great alt-model in the vein of Apnea, but alas, she wouldn’t let me even try to talk her into it. She’s been focusing on her own photography a lot more lately than modeling, so I’m glad I got to work with her. Check her out on Model Mayhem!

These were all shot with the natural daylight streaming through the window at my hotel. See those curtains? They actually don’t move. They’re fixed in place and can’t be moved left or right to cover the window. Silly, eh?

September 22, 2010

It’s been nearly three years since my last shoot with Kelly Boone, in December 2007. Because I shot her before I started this blog, I’ve only ever posted one photo of her. But now that’s all gonna change…

Meet the new and improved Kelly! As you can tell from the photo, Kelly has her sights set on the world of fitness modelling, and plans to enter her first competition in the coming year. There’s lots more to come from this shoot, which was my first time shooting this style of fitness (I’d previously done some in a gym).

The lighting here was pretty simple (that’s how I roll), with Kelly being lit by an Alien Bees 1600 in a medium softbox to camera left, an SB-900 in a shoot-through umbrella for a wee bit of fill to camera right, and an Alien Bees 400 to light up the white seamless and also provide a bit of spill to highlight her backside.

Swimwear September: Kelly

From August 2007, this is Kelly, in what’s probably my favourite swimwear shot I’ve ever taken. The lifeguard boats matched her swimwear so well — it was a lucky find! Kelly was none too happy with me this day, as we parked at the end of the beach and walked a crazy long time to get to this spot. Her feet were killing her, and the handle of her bag broke too. I think it was worth it though! Kelly looks a bit different now than she did then, so hopefully we can get out to the beach again one day to capture her new look.

Tech details: Nikon D200, f/2.8, 1/320 at 200mm with a 70-200mm lens. Lighting was the final rays of the sun just as it touched the horizon.
