back lit fashion
Hi everyone ! I apologize for not posting in such a long time. Been busy shooting. I think you are going to love these photos from a recent fashion editorial. So as you can see I had my team, wardrobe, hair, make up, assistants. It was 105 degrees and dry ! Under those conditions everyone really has to be extra aware to be on top of their game, even me lol.
On this shoot I had my two assistants holding a 6 foot tall oval shaped reflector bouncing the sun back into the model. I used an 85mm lens. The hazy look is the result of me letting some of the sun bleed into the shot. The model is Elicia Perkins from Next Models. Any questions please ask !!!

This is a wonderful shot that shows a lot of talent on everyones part.
Was the sun bleed a result of on the set spontaneity or was it part of the plan from the beginning?
Also, do you calculate DOF as part of your preplan meeting?
Thanks,
Monroe

Thank you Monroe.
The sun bleed was the plan from the beginning. I chose this location specifically for that reason. I LOVE to shoot with the sun back lighting my models. It’s something that not many shooters can master. I ALWAYS plan out my shoots, but that does not mean I stick to the plan word for word. I always welcome spontaneity.
As far as DOF ( Depth Of Field), yes I know in my mind if I want shallow DOF or deep DOF.
Thank you !
