Location
This was a super fun shoot that took place at my best friend's house.Time
We started shooting around noon. I knew I wanted an aerial view so I went with high sun to eliminate shadows.Lighting
Like I mentioned before, the sun was full. I didn't want shading of any kind. I climbed to the top of the slide and shot down. Typically full sun is a big no no. In this case, it was perfect.Equipment
This was shot with Canon 5D Mark II at 24mmInspiration
The model, Ashley White, was definitely the inspiration for this image. She is a beautiful girl, inside and out with a super fun personality. I also wanted to play with shapes. The polka dots in her swimwear, on the float and the circular lemon slices.Editing
This image did not require much processing. Just a little color pop.In my camera bag
Canon 5D Mark II with various lenses,speedlites with pocket wizards, Photoflex ExSm Octodome and several large reflectors.Feedback
With this, the trick for the even lighting was the time of day and the perspective. If it had been shot any other direction it would have failed. Noon sun produces terrible under eye shadows. Later in the evening she would not have been evenly lit either.
