on the beach with Kat Sand

With a great day of weather, a fantastic model and a crew that knows the ropes my job is a piece of cake. We shot the most recent campaign for Kat Sand on the beach at singer island then headed back to the studio to shoot the look book which is a series of images to show prospective buyers the entire line of clothing. Our model Jessica from Elite Miami was fantastic and made the transition from 20 mph winds on the beach to the white seamless in the studio perfectly. Mish, our make up artist with CA Palm Beach knocked the ball out of the park and Kat was the perfect stylist (of course). Keep your eyes peeled for the print work that is to come!

TECH NOTE:

For those tech peeps out there the beach shots were lighted using a Dyna Light battery pack to plug in a 1000w power pack. I shot with a bare head (frosted dome) and 9″ reflector exposing for the models face. we shot at about 11am in order to be able to blow out the background making it a bit more surreal. We placed the model in the shade of a palm tree to kill the highlights on her hair making the light appear very soft. The sand did the rest of the work for us reflecting the sun right back up at the model.
