Here are some phone cam frames from today's photo shoot with Model Josephine. We worked in natural light on the third floor of the house. Though it was overcast most of the day, the Sun poked through several times during the shoot giving me a useful bump in exposure value.

Because I tend to fall into the same composition patterns with my Olympus C-5060, I've discovered that it helps my creativity during the session to switch to a very different type of camera like the simple one built into the Sidekick. Its lack of controls and small size is liberating.

Josephine was very easygoing and took direction well. It's so unfortunate for her that she recently got a 1 1/2" gash on her forehead that has just healed with a scar. In light falling perpendicular to her face, the scar disappears, but in other lighting angles, it's very apparent. Some minor healing brush work in Photoshop will be necessary on some of the final selected frames.
