Beach Wednesday - Twilight Mermaid

Alt model Steph offered to buy me a Thai dinner in exchange for shooting her in a swimsuit. Oh go on then.


Portmarnock beach, Dublin. Unusually warm weather, as the sun tickled the horizon, it felt like we could be in Tenerife. The beach was empty and the wind had died down.

The first shot I used the NIkon 28mm and the other two, the Sigma 85mm 1.4 as far as I can remember. Changing lens on the beach probably isn't the brightest idea, but needs must.

This was lit with one of my experimental DIY softboxes. Essentially a frosted transparent storage crate with an adapter to hold the flash in place. It was perfect for this scenario because it cost nothing and it didn't matter that it got drenched in water and covered in sand. Actually, we both got covered in water and sand but dang if it wasn't the most fun I've had in a long time.
