Rainee – Formal Shoot
Congratulations to all the grade 12 students who have just finished their QCS! That must be a great feeling!
For those who don’t know… QCS is a big exam that all grade 12’s in Queensland have to sit at the end of their final year. Every grade 12 student in the state has to sit in a silent room over 2 days, as they complete 4 exams…. a writing task, a short response, and 2 multiple choice exams.
It feels like forever since I sat my QCS, but I remember it being a relief when it was over and feeling excited because I knew that my formal was just around the corner!
Rainee (below) just finished her QCS yesterday, but her school had their formal at the start of the year (bit strange I know). However, Rainee was more than excited to jump back in her dress again to do a fun formal photoshoot with us.
[For the American and Canadian followers of our blog - the "formal" here is the same as the "prom" over there...]
Rainee got her hair and makeup professionally done again…. she looked just stunning. Her dress was funky black and her shoes were so cute! They have little black bows – you’ll be able to see them better in Matt’s video…. (I’ll get him to post the video soon!).
Anyways, less talk and more photos! Here they are -
Rainee is scared of heights – not that you can tell!
I love the texture of this wall…
Isn’t she gorgeous?
Toowoomba has some cool grungy locations…
Her eyeshadow matched the background… Cool huh?

I would love to know how you exposed the second shot. I think the contrast is really great. Great series!

Rainee was standing on a ledge above me with the sky in the background. I shot on manual and over exposed the image to blow out the sky but still keep her and her dress exposed correctly.

I love the 3rd and the last shot. How do you get the colours so vibrant and saturated, but get such perfect, natural skintone? I’ve tried a number of ways, but the skin never looks right.
Thanks,
Nick
