Today we shot at the world famous Mar-a-Lago. We shot fashion to run in they're exclusive magazine. Photographer Robert Adamo. Here are some production stills. forgive me as this is my first post, the pix came in reverse order.

very windy

light sprinkling of rain sent us running for a tent. We took the opportunity to grab a few Beauty shots.

Playin in the wind

if you look close Rob is in the lower corner doin tech scout.

so it was quite windy and dark clouds for most of the day. For this reason we decided to go with the profoto ring light and profoto beauty dish for lighting running off profoto pro 7b's as they are battery powered. We did need to scrim at one point for a tight beauty shot but fortunately the wind had died down by that point. we used just 6x6 foot scrim. We chose this set up because using soft boxes of any kind let alone the large ones Rob prefers is difficult if not dangerous in high wind. also when shooting on a large property with 8 to 10 shots in a day it's an easier to move set up.

Camera-Cannon 1ds mkII tethered to capture one pro.

extra gear gas generator to keep all batteries charged.

Really the day went pretty smooth other than that little sprinkle. Nothin major to report. Fashion editor and art director were happy and fun was had by all
