observe your surroundings during your fashion shoot
May 8th, 2009I was photographing a woman for her CD cover down at the beach one afternoon in Malibu and as I always do I look and observe EVERYTHING going on around me. Why you may ask ? Because well first of all you need to make sure your shot is clear but also you never know what might be hiding right in front of your nose. As we were looking around for great light I saw a little girl about a hundred yards away behind my model. The little girl was attempting to feed a sea gull and the moment was perfect ! I quickly put my Canon 200mm lens on and shot away. It was funny because my client was talking to me and I didn’t hear a word she was saying, lol.
Before I knew it the moment was gone but I captured a magical moment.
