This shot was a huuuge challenge. We shot this out in Palm Springs in July. The temp was 115 and I don't know what the wind speed was but I can tell you I did not use any fans. At the time I weighed 190 and the wind was almost knocking me over. So the lighting: I had 3 assistants place three Profoto strobes around the models. My key light was placed camera right of the model on the right, fitted with a magnum Profoto reflector, another strobe was placed camera left to the model on the left fitted with a Mola reflector and another strobe was placed camera left towards the back of the models also fitted with a Mola reflector. Of course each C stand had like 50 pound sand bags on them lol. We discussed many different ways to light this shot but we had to keep in mind that the wind would blow an umbrella away, or a soft box. We discussed using large 5 foot square mirrors but those would get blown away. So we came up with just using strobes. We knew the Magnum and Molas were not light weight so we would be fine there. Then we used heavy sand bags and we were fine :-) HI Dave,

If I see an opportunity to incorporate natural leading lines in shot then I do it. It makes for an interesting shot. Ya that would be a good observation.

Am I reading more into it then there is? I’m begining to notice how you use natural lines in your composition along with your models pose to infuse life into your images.
