back lit fashion with flair

For this shot I used the sun to back light the models and my assistants used the large oval reflector to front light them.  Shoot low up close and wide.  I used a 28mm lens on this and was about 5 feet from the models.  It creates a sense of surrounding.  This is an editorial look.

    Hi Dietrich,

    Thank you so much ! I just used my in camera meter set on center-weighted. I over exposed from the correct reading by 1/3 - 1 stop by bracketing.

    Thank you for visiting my blog ! :-)
