Outdoor / Location Fashion Photography for a commercial project. San Francisco, CA

|

DSC7064.jpgHere is the project I did together with an Art Director Oksana . It was a fun fashion photo session for a commercial project, an advertising campaign for one of the Department Stores in San Francisco. We had to shoot on location, on the spooky streets of San Francisco.

The sun was fighting with the clouds that day, so nature made me work hard adjusting to the capricious light. I was nicely surprised with my Calumet Travelite Strobes with Travel-Pak Butteries . The battery lasted for a solid 3 hours of non-stop flashing and was still almost full by the end of the photo shoot.
We had a big team:
  • One demanding Art Director Oksana
  • Five talented and fun  models : Radilina, Emanuela, Alice, Monika and Jason
  • Creative Make-up Artist Cindy
  • Young, but very serious, Wardrobe Stylist Minh
  • Oksana's friend  Rob, a very helpful assistant,
  • ... and myself.

Outdoor fashion photography is a challenging and cooperative work.  It was a good experience to work , communicate and direct the group of models.
At the same time, for this project, I had to keep in mind all the requirements and directions I got from the Art Director. We had to shoot at a specific angle, with a specific image crop, and at 6 different locations. So, not only I had to set the lights and reflectors, and test camera settings, but I also had to do it 6 times within 3 hours!

So enjoy some "Behind the Scenes" photos,
