Fashion Lighting In The Desert Made Simple
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009So I recently shot a fashion shoot advertising campaign out in Las Vegas and on one of the days we had to go find a long strip of road with very little traffic. I had five models and about an hour before the sun went down. Instead of setting up a really complicated lighting scheme I just worked with the sun and my Metz 54mz on camera flash. I had my assistants park the car so the sun would be behind the model or at least coming from the side of her. Taking out the Metz I had so much going on in my head, how should I pose her, expression, how much longer til I lose my light etc., I said screw it ! Let’s just shoot ! I was up close, about 4 feet from the subject on a wide lens, this creates a grand look. It took about 3 shots to dial in my exposure and this is what I ended up with. The client loved it !
