After two of the weirdest flakeouts I've experienced in my flakeout-filled life, I had my third shoot with 16yo Nicole, a young but very determined model.
Her portfolio is filled largely with fashion and glamour, often with a very gentle and soft tone, so this time I wanted to push her envelope with some different looks. The most radical change for Nicole was to put her in full scuba gear. She's a thin and unathletic girl. She weighs 109 lbs and the gear weighed about 70-80. She was clearly out of her comfort zone and was clearly daunted at times, but she didn't complain a bit.
The lighting on this shot was strange. I'd never done this before. This was part of a sunset series, but instead of using a speedlight for heavy fill I used an AlienBees AB800 on a very long extension cord. Instead of a softbox (which I should have used) I used an 8" dish with a warming filter.
