Doing a fashion shoot at a fountain in Tucson, Arizona, the model said she had a swimsuit she wanted to shoot in. As we were shooting, she started to laugh. The parking area was to my right and behind me. People where pulling in to watch the shoot. When she got down and covered they started leaving. We both started joking how she should have gone up to each car and ask for a donation for the show.

A remarkable beauty. You should have asked for donations - you would have made a mint!

Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in downtown Tucson, Arizona, during a fashion photo walk with the model and one other photographer.Time
We started the walk in the late morning in late November. This shot happened near the end of the shoot, so early afternoon around 1 PM.Lighting
The sun was high in the sky behind the model providing the lighting on the water falling in the fountain. Thankfully the building behind me provided enough reflected light to backfill the screen.Equipment
This would have been shoot with my Canon T2i camera using an 18-55mm lensInspiration
We were shooting fashion and the model suggested a swimsuit that she had with her. I agreed to the idea so she went to change in the car. She came back wrapped in a blazer she had been wearing for the previous outfit. When she got to the fountain she tossed me the blazer. I had her stand in the edge of the shadow of the fountain and we began to shoot.Editing
Only post was the removal of a couple of blemishes via Portrait Professional.In my camera bag
Today, my go to equipment is my Canon 80d camera and my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. I have a couple of other lenses in my bag, 18-55mm, 55-200, and 70-300mm.Feedback
Know your surroundings. We were in a very public area and frankly I had no clue that the swimsuit would be that revealing. While we were in a public area we were not in an area with a lot of traffic on a Sunday afternoon. But we still attracted a crowd.
