Photoshoot in the desert








So my creative juices are running! I decided to go my own experimenting in the desert as the weather is wonderful for this time of year! I was working with my muse, Sabina a wonderful and beautiful friend just focusing on portrait and experimenting with my new Profoto Acute 600R with my Beauty and Grid. Wow that's all I can say. What a wonderful piece of equipment! It gives a beautiful light especially at dusk. Flashes were also used but I was rather frustrated as they worked perfectly in the studio but going out on location they never synced. Need to pic Joe's brain on this one! Otherwise I was very happy with the results. I used Katie for make-up and hair and had some other friends tag along for the ride!

Desert Photography with Joe MacNally











I had an amazing priviledge going out with Joe Macnally and his assistant Drew in the Dubai desert shooting dancers. Watching the master at work really got my creative juices flowing and itching to do more creative work! I took my small camera with just to capture the moments of him doing his craft! As with all teamwork, Katie was amazing with makeup, Nico, Alessia & Luisa as the dancers and Sid with the gear! Enjoy!
