Melissa Tan - Model shoot

I had a photoshoot on last Saturday with Melissa Tan and that was a great shoot to both of us. It could be considered as a model test. Melissa Tan is a fantastic model, she did a great job on posing, very inspiration. She came from Malaysia and studying in Canberra now and she has worked in the professional industry before. I was happy to shoot with her.
The shoot, actually was involved by the model and me. There was my girlfriend's little sister came over to assist with the light for a while but most of the time was only 2 of us. To be honestly, this is my very first model shoot in Canberra, that means almost 2 month since I left Vietnam. It can explain why did I feel so excited.
The location was mainly in the back alley near the bus interchange in Civic. We played around with some doors, stair steps and even a truck. Most of the time I use 2 lights, they are Canon 580EX (with honeycomb grid) and Nikon SB28. And when the sun went lower, I had some chance to let the sun light behind Melissa as a back light. Then the final shot I use the sun light directly on her as key light. Let's check them out

There was a lovely stair that I could came up with this very nice composition.

This shot, her hair wasn't lit by the flash I put in the alley but was lit by the sun light.

In this shot I used the sun light as key light.
