The lovely Tia and I descended upon Crescent Beach in White Rock, BC with the explicit goal of getting some awesome shots while trashing her old prom dress. While we didn’t really trash it too much, we had fun getting it wet and sandy.
For the shot above, I used an SB25 through shoot-thru umbrella camera left on full power. I really wish I had my Alien Bees and a Vagabond battery pack out there for this (although carrying it up and down the “1001 Steps” to the beach would not have been fun) to fight the sun, but I was still happy with the way it turned out. The majority of the photos were shot with natural light as I was often IN the water as well. I really enjoyed NOT using light again for a change. It was kinda liberating.
Check out Tia’s set to see for yourself.
