Imagine the situation, you have been booked to come up with a great idea for an advertising image of putting a model in a wedding dress in the sea. You want waves crashing around her and the dress has got to look incredible, cause that is pretty much the point with fashion photography…
Sounds easy, however consider the following:
- You have got to get the model, dress, lighting and camera gear 50 meters out to sea
- There are 5 foot breakers
- The shoot is to take place at dusk
- It’s January so the sea temperature is about 13 degrees and the air temperature a little above freezing
- The dress is worth £3500 and once wet the photos will be no good
- Hair and make-up has been professionally done and again once wet are going to be ruined
- You have a variety of magazine editors and other invested parties all watching from the shore
Fortunately Ross loves a challenge…
And after all that hard work a quarter of a second later its all over…
Shoot over, there are no second chances.
