mkloster - All of the shots in the bedroom were natural light only, no reflectors either. The shots in the kitchen ahd a speedlight in an umbrella to camera left. The shots on the couch were natural light with a reflector to camera right. I was really experimenting with the off camera light in these and shot everything in manual and jsut played around with it until I liked what I saw.
bryan - do it! I'm planning on doing something like this with my girlfriend soon also
thebeginning - this was actually at her place. Like you, I also don't have a nice setup such as the one in the photos so we were in luck when I heard that she had just moved into a beautiful new apartment. I've been wanting to do another shoot like this with some other models, but same problem...no place to do it.
Thanks to all! I love how everyone has a different favorite...for me, when I saw #1 on the screen for the first time, I knew that I didn't have to see any others to be happy with the photos I got...that one was enough for me
its an effort to screwup photos of a model who is so expressive and photogenic...your talents aside...she just looks so natural and enjoying the moments.
