Behind The Lens

Location

There is a lot of beaches around Latvian see coast. Some of them are more spectacular, some of them are less. You have just to find right one for your shoot.

Time

The best time for swimwear shots is sunrise and sunset time. One hour before and after.

Lighting

Settings sun painting beautifuly over fit Model body. The contrast between light part and shadows are stunning.

Equipment

I have used my Nikon D810 with Tamron 70 - 200 and Sigma 35mm F 1,4 art for almost every of my beach shots

Inspiration

We just came to the beach and have started to use everything we could find around, this Old tree not an exclusion. That year I was expanding my swimwear portfolio, wanted to work with different models, not professional, but as much enthusiastic as me.

Editing

Nothing fresh in the post for this image. Clear technical retouch for body and skin, dodge and burn, a little liquify, clarity raising in the background. Overall process is the same what I am doing on all my images.

In my camera bag

I have my Nikon D810 with Tamron 70 200 f2.8 and Sigma 35mm F 1,4 art. 2 speeglights with radio sinchronisation from Youngnuo. It is quite cheap an easy to set up and control straight from the camera. Sometimes I am using small softboxes to have more even and soft light on my models.

Feedback

Most of my beach images are made as simply as possible, I am just waking around, and if I found some interesting spot or location I am inviting my Model to the frame. And just starting to improvise.
