Apparel Shoot - Location 4 - The Beach



Usually colour temperature is a photographer's worst nightmare. Fluorescent lights, sodium vapour, tungsten, all have varying light shades and hues. Balancing the lights is the only way to get a uniform balance of colours in pictures. However, there are times when the contrast in light sources can add balance and depth to an image.

On the scouting run for the shoot, seeing the warm, orange-hued lights in the middle of the courtyard on the snow was a great contrast for me. All I needed to do was try to find someone crazy enough to go out into the snow, in the middle of the night, out into the courtyard. I didn't really think I'd find anyone and that I'd just drop the location.

To my surprise, I found two willing models.

1 block heater, 1 38" inflatable palm tree, 1 nerf gun, 2 t-shirts and 10 breaks to warm up later, the beach shoot was done.













The last set is coming up next - mirrored mural.
