About a month ago, I started working with a modeling agency in my city. Now, I'm their photographer! We recently did a Christmas-themed photoshoot, and let me tell you, it was a huge success. We managed to capture some really beautiful shots – very merry Christmas!

I photographed 17 models who are part of the agency. I'll start by showing you the individual photos. I've only chosen the best of each one to keep the post from getting too long, because there are just so many photos!

For all these photos, I used my CANON RP camera with a 50mm f/4 lens and two lights – the main light at a 45-degree angle to the model and a secondary light behind the model to separate them from the background.

We used a red fabric for the background to evoke the Christmas theme, which I later adjusted in editing. We also used some fake 'presents' for the holiday vibe.

One of the biggest challenges of this production was that, as you can see in the photos, there were a lot of people, and we only had an hour and a half to photograph everyone. To put it into numbers, that's a MAXIMUM of 5 minutes per person (and his couple) to get the photoshoot done in the time we had. So, everything was literally against the clock!

Now, I'll show you the photos we took in pairs, and I'll also explain how we organized ourselves to manage a photoshoot with so many people in such a short time.

Here's how we did it: The model would enter the set and do a maximum of 4 poses, then their partner would come in and we'd do 4 more photos. After that, we'd do the individual photos of the model who had just entered and then move on to the next two people.

To achieve this in the allowed time, everyone had to be prepared and have their poses in mind when it was their turn. Everything went well, and we did captured some really nice photos.

I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as we did. Thanks for watching, and Merry Christmas!
