know about nice nice but I really need that beautiful eyes bring your chin down I want to see big big eyes very very pretty but I need a secret right there so just give me a little bit of a slip like very nice okay we are I'm pretty darn happy with what I've got today hey bambi have a quick question for you from the internet with tess is really soft color palette would you ever photograph her with a black background or do you like kind of like the white for a softer tone over that is a very good question I'm sorry I would probably the way that she's looking this doesn't to me fit the black heavy background I think that it really fits something that softer and I'm actually not even I don't know if I even like the hang on us don't save right there you're doing great just looking right here and see what this looks like I like this this camera position on her too but I think that the dark background is a little bit too much I'm one of the questions we have well first of all I also want teo the internet is shouting out to leave by for all of the help that he has been running around a cz john john justice stant home so and test everyone loves you very much so question from vivian photo is during this type of shoot would you normally have music playing in the background yes yes yes yes but we can't have music because it's too difficult for the vocal part of it so yeah yeah and I would have probably rap theo theo internet with like big way love sir mix a lot through the internet would also love to see tests do a little moon walk oh wait okay so let's get rid of the chair okay you know test it's a shame that you're married cause we could so I mean I'm sure your husband's a wonderful guy but but I'm not kidding you weaken so hook you up here huh it was good back up let's get some light on this girl now do you you don't have children yet right oh you guys are gonna have beautiful babies I'll tell you right now wait one time thiss time hang on test you gotta do it for me this way because the lights over here okay ready came on out to see those arms move it I like that our movement you got going on that was great can we give her a big hand awesome hey and you know one last thing I want to do is I want to get you to start over there actually start over here and let's slow down our cameras and let's just do a couple of things that are really wacky like really slow down oh shoot I'm about out of gas tank I was ticket I want to just yeah oh you're going to die when you see these pictures test the's air going on the internet for sure let me grab a card real fast if I'm giving just like five seconds sure question while I'm waiting on actually big request from the internet we want they want to know if you will do the moonwalk way have a moon walk off no you know what no actually you know what on second thought you know I'm sorry but I can't do the moonwalk because you know I wouldn't want to embarrass tests you know I you know I think that we need to lead the audience on a good note there you know when you when you got the curves and the moves that I got let me tell you it just would be it's just too much you know too much bambi for the for the show all right a serious question from gloria when you guys put that piece of white on the floor underneath the chair could you tell us what that wass maybe john that was a piece of food I was a face piece of foam core all right it's just a white piece of phone court and what would the reason we put it on the floor was we needed to we wanted to neutralize the black the darker background on the front door so it was a bit more harmonious okay so what I want you to do test is I'm gonna have you can we move that stuff off set right over there I want you to just do some like beautiful movements rule soft it's important don't look at us because it's real important to keep I want to keep your face away from the front of the camera cause I want a photograph at us slow shutter speed and if she's facing the camera that her face is facing the camera then we'll want to see in her eyes don't look at us look like down with your eyes hang on a second I got to change some stuff give me thirty seconds here okay wait okay tess yeah that's like you can twirl around if you want teo ready go actually that's going to be nice but can you stay back towards the wall because oh you know can somebody tell me my twenty four to seventy millimeter lens and that I don't have to worry about it you're not getting hot are you are you really okay and test first of all kind of run this way first so we can get cause yeah that's exactly but when you do that have your face one way or the other okay okay ready one two three go beautiful girl that's awesome more you can flip that hair a little bit actually hang on a second dude that one more time and this time I'm going to really okay yeah now we're going to go down to two eight and I'm going to shoot cause I want to capture the movement that was prettier than I thought it was gonna be see this is to me how I get things how I get the magic going is it sometimes it's what I start to think what where I was going isn't where I end up but sometimes it just happens to see and I'm really actually liking that on the wall that's going to be really pretty oh I like that one okay so okay you ready miss tess okay ready go oh that was beautiful honey keep both of your arms and mode and movement that because so because it looks prettier when you have your arms out and stretch your body yeah oh that was nice good job okay I think that's probably getting us close to a rap huh I mean you young lady deserves a hand as well as our other amazing models bambi with a quick question about you made a lens change there yes and folks are wonder if you could explain why whoops sorry honey the reason was on if you want to change you can I guess the reason I changed lenses I wanted to get a longer view I was finding that I didn't have enough headroom with the seventy two hundred and I knew that I wanted to get kind of a movement of her skirts and stuff so I've taken in variety of pictures and not all of me where I'm going but I know in my head what I'm looking for I want beautiful movement there sometimes when you take pictures that are for their literal these kinds of images are not going to be literal pictures they're not literal it's not about girl dancing it's going to be about a body in movement and so I don't want to have the face sharp I want to have movement in the clothes on I think actually this could be really beautiful right here this one I think is going to turn out where I have where I want to go because these days I not only do the normal traditional photography but I also do some images that are composites were all do some I'll do some artwork on them to create something that's a bit less literal and that's been a really helpful that's a wonderful experience for me because it takes your photography from just being pictures to being fine art
