After an absence from shooting for over half a year, I decided to get back into things with a themed bicycle shoot in a studio, with Sydney Ryder. Sydney’s naturally slender form was a perfect choice for such a shoot. I opted to only do two setups – after all, how many ways can you shoot “girl on a bike”? 🙂 I opted for two styles, one high contrast colour and the other a softer more shadow-driven monochrome. The high contrast look was a bit of a risk – Sydney is more tanned than she looks here, but I managed to get the right amount of direct light and over-exposure to get the look I wanted.
Sydney was a champion – it was a blisteringly cold day with high winds banging on the roller doors, but she soldiered on.
As always, styling and makeup by the amazing Julia.
Sydney is my favourite model. Do you know if she is still modelling?
Thanks
I haven’t seen new work from her for a while. She’s a great model and easy to work with too.
