First Fashion Shoot
If you live in the Gainesville area and don't know who Tamara Dobry, then you are missing out.
I had the pleasure of getting to shadow local fashion photographer and director of photography for GFW Tamara Dobry. Dobry is a freelancer who has done over 400 photo shoots in her career in the categories of fashion, sports, wedding, journalistic and personal.
Dobry had a recent fashion photo shoot that I tagged along for. It was amazing to watch her work with someone she barely knew, yet was able to make them so comfortable and calm while doing her job.
Dobry also talked about how she chooses her models for each shoot. She thinks about what she needs from that shoot, such as color palettes, clothes, and overall look. She then finds her models based on what she creates in a mood board for the shoot.
She admitted to me she has a hard time picking places to shoot because she has an idea in her head, but will change it just moments before starting the shoot. Dobry typically tries to have everything mapped out, however, her creativity and spontaneity come to knock on the door every once in a while. I think that's why she is so talented though. She isn't a photographer who says no to crazy ideas. She tries them and then tries them again. It's through these ideas where her best photos come.
Dobry continues to challenge herself every single shoot. Even in the photo shoot I went on, she was asking the model to try different things, bringing the model into her world for the duration of the shoot.
