It’s been a long time since I’ve had the pleasure of shooting Christine. We headed out to Martinique Beach in Nova Scotia at sunrise to do this shoot.
First, a fairly straight-up bikini shot:
Now let’s do the same thing, but moodier, with a little backlight and some monochrome processing:
Outfit change! Get wet:
How about no outfit at all? Unless seashells count:
And finally, one of the nicest headshots I’ve ever taken:
Meet Gillian.
Long story short: what you’re looking at here are two shots that were taken during a quickie ten minute photoshoot about 30 minutes before sunset on a super foggy evening in Nova Scotia. Despite the short shooting time, it took an epically long five hours to get to this point, during which we enjoyed not one but two ice cream cones, as well as insults from random passers-by on horseback.
I can’t make this stuff up if I tried.
For what it’s worth, Gillian told me before we met that she was out of shape and a bit rusty. If that’s the case, then I can’t imagine how good our photos will be when she’s in top form.

We had hoped for a sunny afternoon and beautiful sunset at Martinique Beach — alas, Nova Scotia weather being what it is did not cooperate with us. I think we still turned out some stellar stuff.
I’m in love with her face. Ten points to the first person who can guess her (mixed) heritage.
While in Nova Scotia recently, I went to the beach for a photoshoot with my new best friend, Kristen. Here’s a little video preview of our antics.
Photos from the shoot coming soon!
June 2008
8:59pm – Photographers perch themselves in the best vantage points to see the last rays of sunshine glimmer across the ocean.
9:00pm – The orange globe in the distance vanishes below the horizon. All the photographers immediately pack up and leave. I stay behind.
9:25pm – The sun long gone, I reposition myself without having to worry about a crowd in front of me. I fire off seven shots and blend them using the HDR technique I mentioned in the last post.
Lessons Learned
End!
