I don't want to blabber on about this shoot much, 'cos I'm so damn excited to share these images that I can't think straight!

But, I have to waffle just a little bit or it wouldn't be me, would it?  So, let the waffling commence.

I had the most awesome on location shoot EVER yesterday. It was a great day out with cool friends, doing what I love. What more can I ask for? Okay... maybe some clouds and less brain-boiling heat would have been nice, but you win some.

We shot on the eeriest location that made for some incredible backgrounds. The white sand and blue sky worked so well for the idea that we had and it was, by far, the coolest place I've ever shot in. It wasn't without it's struggles though. Lighting a scene in broad daylight with NO clouds on white sand is really a lot more difficult than it sounds.

But hell, it was worth it: The heat. The hike to the spot. The unbelievably fine sand getting in EVERYWHERE (no, really, EVERWHERE!). Did I mention the heat? All of it was worth it.

This is why:

I'm looking forward to hearing what you guys think of these, 'cos I'm really proud of them. It was an incredible learning curve for me and I learned so much, not just from experience, but also from my friend and collaborator on this shoot, Johan Combrink. Thank you VERY much, JC! And I also need to thank all the models for their hard work, my awesome friend and make-up guru Stavvie and Paul for sending us all running in the opposite direction with his video camera. You guys were awesome and I had a fantastic time!

Cheers,
J.
