Making the city of Adelaide light up with Samantha - a Series of 9 images

What better way to have a first photoshoot with a model you've never met before than under the cover of darkness, by a river, in the city? That's exactly what Samantha's photoshoot was all about. To be fair, it didn't start when the sun had gone down - it started just before, intentionally, in order to ensure that there would be the opportunity for some natural light shots, coupled with some artificial light shots, which is exactly what was achieved. 

The first image is a part of a foot bridge that goes over our local river here in Adelaide, the River Torrens. The Bridge has all sorts of lighting on it, and we decided to augment this with LED string lights of various types. 

Before I share too many of those images, allow me to share the images that were captured before the sun totally disappeared.

This last image is probably my favourite of the pre-darkness images - Samantha nailed the expression and the pose, and I had my off camera flash in just the right place. 

These images were all shot on a single lens, the Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 G2. I love that lens. 

What about when it got dark? Then, it was time for my Nikon D750's low light capabilities to kick in!

Total time for this shoot was around ~2 hours, most of it spent walking around from location to location within the city.
