these photos are so beautiful! I’m a musician and occasionally have to do photoshoots for promo photos, album covers etc — and this is exactly the kind of low-budget but resourceful mentality we need to use. I think that when your vision is strong and uncomplicated, there’s no reason why a 2 person shoot can’t look just as professional as one with a full crew!

also the way you were so prepared by making the vision board with poses, lighting, locations, wardrobe and everything is so key to having a relaxing fun time when you’re actually in the middle of the shoot. I love it 💕

I love this guide so much! If anyone is in Boston and wants to try this out, reply or message me :) I’m an amateur photographer and I always wanted to play around with shooting models. I’d also love to model and be the “main character” so would love to do a photo/modelling swap as well!
