Beach Shoot with Anna
Greetings as always everyone who have been following my work for a while. I have finally found the time to go out and shoot for a good quarter of the day. The last post was updated late; so its not considered as a current post. That's more of July. But now that I have time, I will be shooting more and more trying to make up for lost time and execute on some projects I have been thinking of thoroughly. But anyways let's focus on the set at hand. This here is Anna. She is from the Czech Republic and she is 21 years of age. She has come to America to travel for about 50 days until she goes back to her country. From what I know about her, she seems to be quite the traveler. Getting to know her; she has told me of places she has gone to travel and stay at for a bit. Basically, she has been like 60% of Europe already and she plans on going to Asia next. I met her on Model Mayhem, like always for any and every photographer; it's something to check out because you get to meet new people to collaborate with on the website. She happened to be staying here in LA for a bit and now she is currently in SF for the next couple of days. She plans on coming back and i plan on setting up another shoot with her depending on our availability as well. She wanted to do a shoot at the beach, both in Venice and Santa Monica. I took that opportunity because I had a open afternoon and I had nothing better to do either way. I have never done a beach shoot like this because I am so accustomed to surroundings in my images that I haven't really tried shooting with a flat landscape in the background. We found one of the colored Lifeguard posts that we decided to use for shooting on. She wore a swimsuit for the first half of the shoot. It was like a light purple lilac color that meshed in with the cabin very nicely. Afterwards, we went towards the pier and shot some night time shots as well. The lighting over there was quite nice that i got some shadows and line silhouettes out from windows and such. As always I shot in both B&W as well in Color depending how I see and feel on the image tone and mood. Hopefully when Anna comes back from Frisco; I can set up another shoot. As always stay tuned for more work being uploaded to the site. -BE
