Over the past year, I have been documenting my best friend Melody’s weight loss journey. Just type “Melody” into the search bar above and you can learn about her recent lifestyle change. It’s been great shooting her because I can try out new things with my camera, and the photos provide her with visual encouragement of her progress.
For this set of images, I shot with my new 50mm f/1.2 and the sun was almost completely gone for the day. (When I say gone for the day, I mean the streetlights were already shining brightly.) My goal was to see how well this lens focused with low light sources, no flash, and a high iso. I’m excited with the results.
Melody is nearing 90lbs of weight loss. She’s within 20lbs of her goal, and I support her 100% as she is nearing the finish line of a brand new healthy lifestyle. Sometimes her daily workouts put me to shame!
Our plan is to have a fun spring shoot in a couple months to celebrate her completion of such a life-changing challenge.
