Some say that the secret to shooting at the beach is to be on set early and late when the light is not too direct or strong, better yet shoot on an overcast day when the light, filtered through cloud cover, turns the scene into God’s soft box.
I always prefer to shoot outdoors with flash, my light of choice the Profoto B1, but on this occasion I had minimal gear that did not include strobes, so I made do as best I could.
In any event, a beautiful beach setting coupled with a talented model certainly don’t hurt.
These images were captured using only ambient or available light using a Canon 5D Mark IV camera body and Canon 24/70 and 70/200 lenses both f2.8 and shot wide open.
