From late September 2008, in the waning days of summer. Brandi and I have been partners in crime for nearly four years now, and this was by far our best photoshoot… until recently. I had the opportunity to photograph Brandi on the beach at sunrise a couple weeks ago and the results were stunning. Stay tuned to the blog for some of those!
Tech details: Nikon D200, f/5.6, 1/250 at 200mm with a 70-200mm lens. Lighting was mid-day sunshine to camera right, and an Alien Bees 1600 in a shoot-through umbrella to camera left. As Brandi had climbed up a few feet in the air, I had to extend my light stand as high as it would go, which made it extra wobbly in the wind. Luckily, Brandi’s boyfriend, race-car driver James Hinchcliffe, held it steady for me and was a great all-around assistant.
Swimwear: the awesome Mayra Collection.
