Future Photo Shoot
14/12/10 22:03
Hello Readers!
I know its early but I am already excited about my photo shoot with my good friend Whitnie in April. Whitnie is graduating from the University of Texas and she asked me to do her graduation photos! I am excited because I know I should start planning out where we are going to shoot and if we are going to do studio portraits too.
Things to discuss:
date and time
location(s)
studio portraits?
Gown or no gown?
Things to pack:
tripod (buy a photo head for my tripod!)(if i can afford it)
camera (duh)
flash
extra camera battery
extra flash batteries
a chair (for my model)
Backdrop for portraits
colored gels
light kit (that I need to build)
50mm lens
extension cord
button release cord
reflector bounce board
I think thats everything...I hope I haven’t forgotten anything.
I am very excited!
I try to post a picture in every post so here is a picture of myself (right) and Whitnie (left)!
(obviously its a few years old--but we are still beautiful!) :P

Photography: Model Wanted!
06/12/10 21:27
Hello Readers!
I am interested in expanding my experience as a photographer. I am looking for anyone who is interested in being a model for me during the Christmas break. I would like to do some studio work--with lights and a backdrop in order to get a feel for the studio style photography.
I have a special blog for my iPhone Photos. I use it as a chronicling of my life. www.rachaeliphone.blogspot.com
Those photos are more artsy but I love the blog and all the photos in it.
Here is the newest self portrait I have created. I know I look a little ragged--but I am recovering from some minor surgery. However, this photo was one of 20 that I took and it's the only one I was really drawn to. My head was cut off in the original, but I balanced it out by trimming off the bottom to make it into a banner style. I also toned down the reds because my face was very rosy in the original. This photo was shot with a Cannon Rebel XS with the factory lens and an external flash. Once my hand heals more, I will be taking my camera out of the house and into the city to work on more self portraits as a way to gain experience.
Note to self: Buy/Make a light kit
One last thing, I started an ETSY account to sell my photos! Seller name: rlschroeder16. If there is a specific photo on my website you would like to purchase, please feel free to contact me. Most of my photographs are for sale. :)
