Beach Shoot - Swimsuit *** Possible NSFW ***

[Trever1t]

Shooting on the beach is a lot more difficult than in the park or anywhere else I've worked as of yet. I knew that going in and was prepared for a challenge.

Yuri is the girl from a previous shoot, you might remember her?

Nice set. #2 is definitely my favorite, lol. Beautiful model.

A few minor things I noticed - in #4, I would clone out those little speck of light (dust/water on your lens or something...). Not totally sold on the composition of #5... I think either a square or portrait orientation crop might work well there. Not digging the entire right side of the frame being empty...

 

[Trever1t]

Ahh, but it's not empty Thanks!

Nice set! I especially liked 1,2,and 3, and I also enjoyed 4 and 5 too. You made her look fabulous! Nice,clean,simple look on all of 'em.

Yeah, but it's not exactly filled with hawtness either, lol.

Thanks Derrel, I like that description, it is my motto

I think these are tastefully done and not over processed. Love the soft lighting

Very nice... and wow, what a gal!

OP- Can I ass you a question? Did it feel like you went to "work" this day?

#1 Looks like she came to me in a dream.

I hope she had a sweater, it can be cold near the coast.

The background in #5 is incredible. It's the wild painterly texture. WHAT is going on back there? I see some surf below. Is it the same cliff/rock we see in the other photos? An approaching sandstorm?

Her forward shin and foot in #1 look odd. I can see now that she's got her toes down behind some rock(?) but it makes an odd amputated look. The glow on her shin looks wrong as well -- is there a gold reflector down low just out of frame? I would at least tone that glow down in post, and consider just dropping the shot on account of amputated toes. I realize most dudes are not looking at her feet

Anyways. You've got a great look, and while I might be wrong I feel like I am remembering some really great forward strides from you in the last year. These look wonderful. You're posing the girls better, you're managing light better, and you're finding some really great places to have them stand.

I. HATE. YOU. With every fibre of my being!





Outstanding set Trever!

lol, yes and no. Yes I was working hard, sweating even. No, we've become friends and she's so easy and fun to work with.

It usually is but yesterday was in high 70's, we were sweating!

Yes, behind her in #5 is that cliff wall, some surf. #1 we're standing on the edge of a small cliff, her foot is extended down off the side slightly. I used an SB-800 direct flash, placed camera right, just out of the frame on the rock wall. She just glows

Yes, I have been studying, thank you for noticing!


The haze on the original image totally obscured her
