Palms Hotel in Las VegasTime
I took this shot while waiting on valet to get our car. We wanted to grab as much golden hour as possible. What I love about this shot is that it was taken at the Palms Hotel in Vegas. I was able to capture the palm tree and hotel in her glasses.Lighting
We actually wanted to get to the desert to get the best golden hour shots but because valet was taking so long I said "CJ, let's go for it!" We got so many amazing shots and ended up missing the GH by the time we got out to the desert. Totally worth it!Equipment
Just my Canon 5D Mark IV & my L series lensInspiration
CJ did. I was at a huge Maxim and Playboy photography event and she was one of fifty models but she stood out. She is way more actress than model. You can see it in her eyes even with the sunglasses on!Editing
Yes, I believe that finishes the story. I used both Photoshop RAW and LightroomIn my camera bag
All Canon all day for this girl. My 5D Mark IV, my 70-200mm EF L USM, Canon Fisheye 8-15mm L USM, and my 24-70 L USM. When I use flash which is rare I huge the Gary Fong diffuser on my Canon 430EX III Speedlites. Oh and I always have my trusty smoke grenades just in case!Feedback
Never underestimate the power of high shutter speed. It will help grab the subject but allow for a lower aperture. My biggest tip though is to never get comfortable, try everything and don't overthink it because you will lose the magic. Also Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.
