Happy Independence Day! Maybe this post will give you all something to look at if you are bored and have the “itis” from all that food you ate today! Anyway, these are a few images taken back in May. For this fun shoot, we headed to Huntingon Beach in Bay Village, Ohio to shoot a little swimwear and glamour. I was very impressed with how nice this beach was compared to a few others I’ve been to that surround Lake Erie. Although this was my second time shooting at a beach, this was my first time shooting with Jadea, and she was a very, very cool model to work with. She has such a fun personality, so I’ll be glad when I get the chance to shoot with her again! In a segue from my last post, I was also glad to go back to my roots and do some location shooting. The weather was beautiful, so why not shoot outdoors on a nice beach? Lighting was pretty simple on this shoot; I used a {B800} through a gridded beauty dish for most of the images. Backlighting from the sun provided a nice hairlight for a few of the images as well. I also used the {Vagabond II} portable battery system to power everything. It worked flawlessly! My next post will be a review of the Vagabond II, so make sure you read up on that if you are looking at ways to power your monolights. It’s always interesting shooting near water—it’s just something about potentially ruining all my gear that makes me extremely nervous about shooting near it. Fortunately, none of my camera gear got ruined, but I did end up losing my phone that day which was a bummer. My phone was probably the least expensive thing on me that day, so I’m glad that was the only casualty!
