This is Dana Leuth, a local actress.  She is the firs "model" I've attempted to shoot, and at the time I was using my horrific powder blue background and it was my first attempt to shoot with daylight balanced hot lamps and a disk reflector.

From my first model shoot in May, 2005, with Sexy Di MM# 12684.

My gear consisted of a 25 year-old Minolta XG-7 SLR and a single roll of Fuji NPH400 Professional negative film. No flash or reflectors (In fact, I did not even know what a reflector was back then!). Negatives were scanned on a Konica-Minolta Dual IV.

Best image - I lucked out with just the right amount of sun behind me:

Worst image - White shirt, black hat, direct sun = Shadowy mess:

https://www.richardsfault.com/rp_photo/WellsiteI-SexyDi/27.jpg

Could have been best - If ONLY I had used a fill flash or reflector on this one:

Taken last spring (I have an auto copyright php script so it's really 2005) with a Mavica CD500, no fill or flash. I had a wrinkled backdrop so I took it out and have since done such great work with this model that I haven't bothered to play with filling it. Also the one of Abbe (girl in tan and light brown boots and lace top in my port here) was from the same day. My sister and my friend basically came in and helped me shoot my first "real" models other than myself or my husband.

Hadn't posted images and went back until I figured out what I was doing wrong. It took a few times. ;-)

I would post one of my first images but MM has a weight restriction of .008 lbs. and my first image was done on granite with a small boulder and rock chisel which weighs. The image weighs 49.0 lbs. and not postable online.....kinda like a small snake eating a great dane and the lump thing in the stomach.

It would stop internet completely around the globe......sorry i cant ablige though, its great for a yard/front lawn decoration.

Ok, well technically this was the first time I shot anyone with studio lighting for a purpose... I was 15... I think the model was 17... it was 1990.

Okay, you asked for it... And I'm sure you'll regret it! This photo is from one of my very first "official" portrait attempts. Actually, I think it's from my very first attempt made in December 1995. The model is a good friend of mine who played the role of guinea pig for quite a few of my photographic experiments when I first got started. This is actually a crappy scan, so pay no attention to the actual quality of the scan. Also, note the poor styling with the fly-away hair. I shot this with three blue bulbs in Smith-Victor reflectors and stands (I think I was using three 250 or 500 watt bulbs) using a Nikon N6006 and probably Kodak Royal Gold 100 film.

This one is of a friend of ours and she was pretty self-conscience because she had just had her baby. But what I don't get are the photographs we did of her when she was pregnant and she let us get the nudes. They turned out fabulous and very discreet and yet she doesn't want us to use them in any kind of advertising, they were for herself only.

This one is the first engagement photos we did as part of one of our wedding packages. Together my fiance and I have been photographing for over 10 years when this shot was taken. She's just finishing up her bachelors and she's been shooting since high school (roughly about 6 years) and I'm just a lot older than her (I'm 37, she's 25).

This is the first model off of a modeling site (Freelance) that we used a little over a year ago.
