Library Shoot w/ an Influencer!!!

Six years ago, when I really wanted to start getting my name out there. I started reaching out to local influencers for photo sessions. I had pretty good luck and responses...actually only one NO, everyone else was a YES. That really helped me and my confidence.
Today, I don't really feel the need to reach out to influencers, but when Alexus and I connected on Instagram, we decided to shoot in this College Library.
It was a fun shoot with its own little challenges. Getting permission, being quiet, all my gear, let alone working with her for the very first time.
However, I think we made the most of it!
Enjoy the photos. They were all lit with the Rotolight AEOS.

Great pictures Jason. You also look like you're working out. Man! I need to hit the gym too. You are getting in shape! Congratulations on your hard work.

@@quietset7639 thank you and thank you! Yes I’ve been hitting the gym, cycling again, and eating better! Dropped 31lbs so far this year and feel great!

[@quietset7639]

@@J.Allen_Photography I was watching one of your videos from last year and KZbin played this new right after that and man! You can tell the difference you made with your effort. You just inspired me. I'm starting the gym on Monday. Thank you Jason!! You are great.

You should be linking the new equipment with Amazon affiliate links.

[@J.Allen_Photography]

@@dbenedict357 that is coming! Stay tuned!!!

[@wildone106]

The miracle here is an 'influencer' (ie-pretty girl) even replied to your request. I'm blanket ignored 1000%

[@J.Allen_Photography]

@@wildone106 she reached out to me. But I feel you.

[@dbenedict357]

9:59 I imagine because the light is constant it might not last as long, right? Just something to take into consideration.

[@J.Allen_Photography]

@@dbenedict357 absolutely! Which is why I always bring 2 batteries

Love the videos, I’m a photographer myself how do you find the models to callab with or pay for ?

[@J.Allen_Photography]

This one found me. But over the years I’ve built a small group of models that I enjoy working with and I have a chat group on IG with them.

[@joeguitarplayer95]

@@J.Allen_Photography great photos great lighting, is there any chance of any feedback on my photos? Mine are partly callab but they are friends of friends but I could do better as they aren’t actual models, keep up the good work

[@J.Allen_Photography]

@@joeguitarplayer95 if you’re on Instagram, message me and I’ll see what I can do!

[@MrMeldarionx]

Learning to work with girls who aren't "models" will make you a better photographer if you put the effort in ​@@joeguitarplayer95

[@thelaststand1977]

You should be unmarried lol. Otherwise ....😂😂

[@isoawe1888]

Is that a lightstand or a modified tripod ?

[@J.Allen_Photography]

Modified tripod!

[@MrLaloapatzingan]

The colors in the video are very different from those in the photos

[@wildone106]

[@J.Allen_Photography]
