Bedfordshire Beauty Contest




I was asked to shoot the Miss bedfordshire contestants before their big contest at the Bedforshire Eagles football club.

The shoot involved a series of group portraits out on the pitch, then individual portraits in evening wear, home made eco-outfits and their miss bedforshire uniforms. Then there were a series of group shots too!

The outdoor shots were all taken using natural light. The indoor pictures were shot with a pair of elinchrom studio strobes.
 




The main light was a softbox on camera left with a rim (or hair) light on camera right providing separation from the black background. 

None of the contestants had modeled before and none had any experience in front of the camera.
