Firstly was working with children; throughout the majority of the shoot it was easier than expected working with the two children on the shoot, however at some points they got slightly distracted and it was a challenge getting them back into an environment where they were acting naturally as they would if i weren't there. Some examples:
Secondly was working in windy conditions; whilst the lighting and dry conditions on the shoot were perfect for the image I wanted to create in each photograph - I was really lucky in that sense - the wind was really strong on this particular day and with the women especially it created a few problems; their hair was being blown in their faces, meaning some of the shots just didn't look as professional as I wanted them to be.
Thirdly was the strength of the sun; as the shoot progressed the sun was obviously moving and at some points, as it fell between the trees, the sun was too strong and took away from the image:
However ...
These problems only caused minor issues on the photo shoot and I was able to work around them, meaning the majority of the photographs I was really happy with!!
If i was to produce another photo shoot in this type of environment then i would maybe look at using a dark reflector when then sun became to harsh just to dull the models down slightly so it wasn't taking away from the image. Stopping the wind from being so strong isn't something I would be able to control as them conditions are natural, however it didn't create too much of a problem and working with children was, as i said a lot easier than anticipated, I would just maybe break up the time I shot them during the shoot to hopefully enable their full attention to be on the photo shoot.
I felt the shoot went really well and although these problems did occur there was no major issue during the shoot! I'm really excited to see how the best photographs I chose will turn out once I've edited them!
