Location
This was taken on a party boat cruise in Mallorca, Spain. We would set sail early afternoon with around 25 partygoers, first heading to stop off the coast of Ibiza then to a popular swimming spot before heading home. The DJ would be playing, Sangria and beer would be flowing, and for those 3-4 hours every day my only obligations were having fun and take pictures of people having fun.Time
It must have been around 7pm as this was just before the boat would turn around and head back to port, everyone was still wet from their swim stop, happily drinking sangria while the DJ was playing Latin dance musicLighting
Rays of light bouncing over rippling sea waves from the setting sun cast a beautiful light on my modelsEquipment
I used my high-risk kit since I was around people drinking in the middle of the sea. Nikon D5100 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 External Flash w/ bounce cardInspiration
The way the white swimsuits contrast their Mediterranean tan was striking, with that gorgeous light being cast over the sea in the backgroundEditing
Not that I can remember. This was very early in my photography, so I quite possibly lifted this straight from the SD cardIn my camera bag
I am trying to improve my composition skills so I tend to stick with my 35mm prime and move myself rather than the lens. In my bag: Nikon D7000 with 35mm f/1.8, and a 17-50mm f/2.8 as backup. Hopefully soon a 300mm telephoto will join my bagFeedback
Find willing models, choose a beautiful location and wait for that perfect moment. Most importantly, keep pressing that shutter button, every time you do is valuable experience
