I had the pleasure of working again with Tiff. I wanted to explore using the long purple material that we used on our 1st shoot. I didn’t feel the material was giving me what I wanted so I went out to a local fabric shop & found a stretchy lace type of material, which worked out perfectly. This is how I develop my concepts by exploring my failures, not to say our 1st shoot was a failure, but there were ways that I saw how I could improve on what we did base on what worked & what didn’t. Tiff was perfection, failures on my part…persistence, or just hard head. Lol!
I originally wanted to go to this specific spot that I shot from before but I misjudged the tide & how the waves were breaking which made hiking down a little sketchy, so we opted to stay where we were in a safer area.
Once again working with my team we came up with the concept of having the blue fabric flow off the top of the rocks, like a waterfall & wrap around her body Like water as it flows down back to the sea. The team was da bomb on this concept!!!
The hardest part of any shoot is figuring out the lighting. This was a 3 light setup, a key light, background & hair light. It takes time to tweak the light to see how each light is interacting with the subject & background but once that’s done rest is magic!
