The Beach

I hooked up with very talented model (and working photographer) Marcela Diaz in August to create some traditional beach images, including bikinis and beachwear. Well, that was the plan…

The summer had been fantastic, with hot and sunny weather in abundance… until we decided to do a beach session. After a number of failed attempts we decided to give it a go.

Finally at the beach we realised just how windy and overcast the conditions actually were. We had initially talked about high contrast beachfront pictures with blue skies and a lots of sun. Instead we had to change our plan drastically.


More after the break…

Wireless Flash on Location

Two small flashguns, a brolly and a small grid can work wonders for almost any photo.
I tried this setup in a park in east London, UK, this weekend and am very pleased with the results from such a small and lightweight setup. Obviously, I brought much more gear than needed. But it could have been very lightweight, easily fitting into a LowePro backpack.
