Dark Desert Fashion Editorial in Qatar

[FKP007]

Hi all, would like to share with you a personal fashion editorial project I recently shot in the Qatar desert. This was a natural light shoot mostly without the use of a reflector, which considering I'm a die hard studio hermit, was a step out of my comfort zone.

I shot with the 5dMk3 and a borrowed 24-70 2.8LII. I own the 16-35 2.8L II and the 70-200 2.8L and a sigma art 1.4 50mm, however I needed one lens to give me all the focal lengths I needed without having to change. After shooting with the 24-70 I've realised this lens really does live up to the hype.

Styling was put together by myself and a friend on zero budget by simply, borrowing, chopping and sewing (love diy styling).

I ditched battery grip and had the single body and lens with a camranger on the hotshoe so the mua and stylist could monitor the shots on the fly.

Camera settings: 1/500-1/800 f8 iso100

Any questions please feel free to ask.

Interesting set; not a place I'd want to shoot for any length of time though!

Fashion isn't my thing but I LOVE the ones with the wind blown veil.

Definitely not my thing either, but I'm really liking the colors here. Nice set.

These are beautiful. I love the light, the styling, and your processing. Is f/8 a particular f/stop that you usually shoot at?

Thanks Dan. I don't like messing constantly with apertures would rather focus on composition and posing. F8-f11 is super sharp on this lens as it is with most lenses and gives the desired dof.
