This second set of photographs featuring model Amber and a Cadillac CTS photographed in front of the Tampa Convention Center feature some of the images chosen by the client (part 1 featured my initial favorites from the shoot). It is always interesting to me to see which photographs the client chooses as compared to the ones I chose. This time, only one photograph of the client's ten purchased images overlapped with one of my top three. We were close on a second, with the client choosing just a slightly different pose than the one I did. Too bad about that too because I had already done the major edit (removing several background buildings) on the pose I chose!

I believe it is really important to get one or more sets of eyes on all the photographs from a shoot in order to really discover all the best ones. If the client had not chosen these, I may never have bothered to give any of them a full edit and thus they would have never made it onto my site or into my portfolio.
The idea to have Amber look at her watch as if she were bored or waiting impatiently on someone was my own. The client had told me at the beginning of the shoot that he wanted an element of the unattainable, of something hard to maintain, hard to keep. So I thought if you want to have a beautiful woman and a cool car, you better arrive on time, at the very least!

Plus, add in a model who can pose gracefully on the hood of a car (not easy!). That equals pretty much the ideal situation.

Gorgeous pics; the CTS is stunning and I also really like the backdrop of the city in the second shot; has a sort of European feel to it. Great model too!
Thank you...Amber was fun to work with and that spot in downtown Tampa provides a unique background, especially for this area of Florida.
