Lauren Day 2

Part two of Lauren's portfolio shoot was today. This is where we got to focus more on the fitness/outdoor lifestyle type shots she'll use for her portfolio. We first met up at The Circuit Gym in NE Portland, which is really a huge indoor climbing center.

Lauren does a fair amount of recreational climbing, so meeting up at The Circuit was a natural choice to get some active shots. I'd photographed indoor rock climbing before, but this was the first opportunity I've had to throw some dynamic off camera lighting on it. It was a lot of fun and the shots really pop more for it.

Turns out the weather held up pretty well in the afternoon, so after The Circuit, Lauren and I decided to head down to Cook Park in Tigard for some outdoor shots. Primarily we nailed some good outdoor running shots, natural light for that full on lifestyle aesthetic. Lauren and I will likely meet up again once the sun comes out more for a bit more apparel shots (hopefully with some lower light, backlit lens flare type shots) but that likely won't be for a bit still given the rainy weather as of late.

Just like last time, Lauren is a joy to work with. Although we've only officially met for this photo series, working together feels like catching up with an old friend. Lauren definitely has the right motivation and a great attitude toward her work, I'm excited to see her succeed. Anyway, here are a few shots from today.
