With the Lockdown restrictions for this kind of photoshoot over, it was SO lovely to be out again. The model was a local dancer, Kelsea, who needed new photos for her social media channels. With a drab, overcast, colourless sunrise… what could I come up with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We met up at 6am at the bandstand in Youngs Park, Goodrington<\/a>. I already knew there wouldn’t be a sunrise but that didn’t stop me. I have my own lights and I wanted to create my own unique look and feel for the shoot. Kelsea wanted photos wearing a tutu and another white outfit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelsea<\/a> was bang on time and kept warm with a dressing gown and coat. It’s that time of year when you’re never quite sure how much clothing you need to bring. It was a 6c pre-sunrise. Cold enough to make me feel sorry for what Kelsea was going to be wearing for her shots 🙂 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always explain that the lighting takes a little while to set-up, usually around 10 minutes, but that 10 minutes is ALWAYS worth the effort. Kelsea kept wrapped up while I set-up and then I’d take a quick burst of shots before letting Kelsea wrap up again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started at the bandstand and took shots with my 20mm, 24-70mm, 85mm and 70-200mm lenses. Once I get the shots I know I want, at the focal length I want, I like to try other focal lengths and experiment with the light. Talking of which, as it was just before sunrise I only needed the power of my Godox V1 as a rim light, plus my Godox AD200 for the main light. <\/p>\n\n\n
