This image for an ad campaign was shot in an old villa in Miami. In order to emphasize the girl in the shot I played with color temperatures. At first, there was not quite as much sun as we were hoping for and we were just getting ready to simulate sunlight by placing strobes outside....
A simple but classic catalog shot. I chose to shoot this in a strong sidelight (actually almost a backlight) to emphasize the knitwear texture. The three things you have to watch out for in a shot like this are color temperature, contrast and a good balance of light on the models’s face.
This beauty shot was taken in Exuma, Bahamas. We were at he end of a long day of shooting swimwear. The light was so beautiful, I had to shoot a few additional shots.
This shot was part of a swimwear shoot for a magazine. I like to use portable battery operated strobes for outdoor shots (like the Profoto 7B).
