Rye field family photoshoot

Iren · 18 Jul 2017

Here are few photos from the recent (paid) family photoshoot that I've done in the rye field (more in comments).
It was beautiful sunny day and when I arrived to see the family and was asking where they want to have the shoot done and is there any open shade...they showed me beautiful rye field...with no shade and bright sunlight!!!
I slightly panicked, but then I remembered to position their back facing the sun and lift some shadows in post processing. I've edited photos to be be bright, but could not resist my recently beloved faded look on some of them (saying that, there is a bright copy for every photo). Family is very pleased with them and although I see what I could have done better, I am fairly happy with them too.
Thanks for looking.

Very cool work Irina!

3 and 5 are the better ones IMO

I love 7 too!
4 is not so good because of the rendition
due to capture!

Very nice...5 really works for me

Very nice! Well, the non-faded ones are

One small thing.. if poss try to avoid having the horizon intersecting with a head.

5 is brilliant. 3 is a great shot but the focus seems off to me.

Thanks everyone! 5 is my favourite too

They look like oats to me......not wild ones either!

I like the poses.

Hmm, looks like they are oats, i thought they looked not like rye and i could not get that warm glowing tone in post edit ))
you are the first who mentioned that!

Sorry, it makes you 'The Catcher in the Oats' (apologies to Mr. Salinger!)
