Photoshoot is today!

Subject: "Hooters Girl" for the calendar

Output Required: They want 8x10 bikini shot and 8x10 uniform shot

(She also would like some headshots)

Todays WX: Full sun, shooting between 3-5:30PM have reflector boards in case of strong shadows, light will be nearly perpendicular to the waterfall and should have a lot of glimer off the falling water. This I hope will have a cool effect when I reduce depth of field. Angle of light will be about 45 degrees to the models right side on many of the shots.

Film: Porta 160vc, Porta 400UC, Reala 100, TMAX 100, Superia 200. (not sure why they don't require slides)

Camera: Sigma SA7, Sigma Lenses, from 50 - 300 depending on shot

Location: Waterfall background, small soft white sand shore. There will be a lot of gray in the background due to the time of year and few leaves on the trees.

Model: Absolutely stunning petite brunette. I don't think a "bad" picture of her is possible.

Planning on using the 160vc amd the TMAX for headshots, the remaining rolls for body shots.

Will post sample photo when done!

I am a bit tense, this is only my second modeling shoot. Yes, I will be using a tripod with a remote controlled shutter.

Can someone please correct these statements? I am somewhat new to

photography and want to make sure I understand which film I should

use for the right shots.

From my recent reading this is what I have surmised.

Kodak Porta 160VC - use only for studio work, Fine Grain, good for

enlargements

Kodak Portra 400UC - Would be good for weddings where background

colors are equally important as the subject.

Fuji Superia Reala 100 - Good for outdoor sunny shots where low

contrast or "Softness" is desired

Kodak 100TMax - Good for outdoor or studio where extremely fine grain

where enlargement may be desired.

Kodak 400Tmax - Good for indoor/outdoor where a greater depth of

field is needed.

Kodak Gold 200 - Ok general film, where I do not expect to do any

enlargements

Kodak Gold 400 - Ok film when subjects will be moving such as

shooting son or daughter in a soccer game etc. Enlargements may be

grainy

Fuji Velvia - Mind blowing color slide film, would be great for

landscape in the tropics, sunsets etc. Is best to over expose shots

slightly by changing ISO on camera slightly.

On this same subject, the release I use is very general. I can pretty much do whatever I want with the photos. My question is that since I have a model release, and the photos are now mine. If I sell them wouldn't the recipient get a release from me to them, not a copy of the one the model signed for me?

My concern is that my model release form has the model's name and address which I would like to keep private. I also would like to put additional restrictions of use to those who purchase any of my photos.
