This shoot wasn’t exactly my easiest. But not because of the models. Well not entirely.. Their schedules limited them to a mid morning – afternoon shoot. The worst time of the day. I had originally wanted a late afternoon-sundown shoot. So besides having the harshest sunlight you could get, it was also hot as hell. I mean it was effen hot. This was in the middle of August mind you. In Florida. You couldn’t stand to be in the sun for more then a few minutes. The sun literally sucked the energy right out of you. And I had no help.

The models would sneak in the air conditioned house for about 5 -10 minutes while I repositioned my lights. I had a large area to cover with the cars, so it wasn’t no simple task. I had to reposition things over and over because the lights ended up in the shot. After 5 minutes of each setup, I was already spent. But I couldn’t break long, I had to finish before the models had to leave. So I was in a rush. A quick drink of water and back out with the models. Shot with them for another 10 minutes each. Then to the next setup. I had 4 cars to shoot with 2 models. By the end of the shoot I starting to feel sick from working in the sun so long. But I still wasn’t quite done. One more setup to go…

Trying to fight the sun and the schedule, I really didn’t take the care with the setups that I wish I could have. I had these setups in my mind I wanted to do but time just wouldn’t allow. So I just had to shot enough to get it done.

Overall I think they turned out decent. Looking through them all I found mistakes I made. Wish I could have had more time and less sun, but that’s the way it goes. I’ll have to save that for the next shoot.
