She's a friend, a fellow blogger, and an expert on all things vintage. Met her today out among the rolling hills of San Francisco to do a brief one-hour photo shoot. Seeing her step out of her front door immediately blasted me straight into the 1950's. With perfect afternoon weather and a gorgeous model to work with, I was feeling pretty good about the shoot right from the start. Nikon D700 + Nikkor 24-120mm f/4 VRII Desirae's outfit is remarkable, not only because of its 1950's styling, but because everything she has on is truly vintage, as in made 60+ years ago. Even her stockings are true vintage. Seriously, she's that good! Nikon D700 + Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII We originally planned to head to some specific and well known places in the city, but since we only had an hour to work with, we decided to just explore her own neighborhood on foot and make images along the way. Since I JUST finished this shoot only hours ago, I'll need some time to process the images, but here's a brief sampling from the time we spent together. Enjoy!

The images from it have such great contrast and the range was perfect for both wide and tight portraiture. As I mentioned, Desirae is an avid blogger with a truly interesting site called Ruby's Rose. The blog is a fictitious diary of a girl living in the 1950s, and it strictly adheres to events that occurred during that decade in real time. It's really fascinating, so check it out at rubysrose.blogspot.com Also, see more images from the shoot on my gallery page at www.jonathanflemingphotography.com! * Share this: * IFrame * Facebook * Email * StumbleUpon * Digg * -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Possibly related posts: (automatically generated) * [Sneak Preview] Chia Yong & Ee Ching * Bride and groom in Vietnam * J-Wing && Min Suet Written by Jonathan November 14, 2010 at 9:10 pm Posted in Portraits, San Francisco Tagged with 1950, 50s, 70-200, blog, d700, desirae, example, fashion, mad men, Nikkor 24-120 f/4 VRII, nikon, nob hill, north beach, Photography, portraiture, review, ruby's rose, sample, san francisco, sf, strobist, style, test, vintage << A San Francisco Sunset The North Peak >> Like 2 bloggers like this post.
