2x Model Shoot Golden Hour Beach

This is when having an assistant reeeally helps.

C and c on PP or anything in general is cool

Assistant: Ray

Models: Erica and Jaycee

More Erica!

Both are nice shots.

Here's my two cents... In the first photo, there is creases left from the clothes they were wearing before. And, I find the combination of the tattoo and the shadow on the model on the left's elbow to be any eye catcher. Bent elbow next time. Model on the right, the tan lines, below her top seem strange, particularily on her right side where the line of pale transitions more abruptly to freckles and tan. On her left, the transition is more gentle and I doubt I would have noticed if the other side was the same.

In the second photo, the skin tones and shodaws seem to be playing off each other between bathing suit pieces, particularily her right side. Dodge and burn/blend?

On both, I'm not sure how I feel about the warm and cold colouring in the background. I'd be interested to see it with less satiration or the highlights back in. The cold/blue seems to have bled into the model's hair in the first photo.

There. That's all. I've got.

Nice work. I'd be happy if had done those.

I always like to get pp comments. After editing for a while I get tunnel vision. Yea the marks left my clothing are really unfortunate because they look like stretch marks which she obviously doesn't actually have. They are kind of hard to fix in post with he clone brush. Suggestions?

Imma post a few more as I continue editing

Id either use frequency separation or careful use of a mix of healing brush / clone stamp / gaussian blur

Nice set, what made the assistant most valuable for this shoot? I'm thinking the assistant was holding the light on a boom/folded tripod?

would love to see the setup for this and what lighting you used.

Oh I guess I forgot to say in the post

It's an alienbee and soft box

Love it, got a beach shoot coming up but only have a speedlight

It's the same idea. You'll just have to adjust bc it has less power. Do you have a modifier for it?

nope, never needed one, perhaps i should pick up a shoot through umbrella or reflector umbrella? I do have a pop up reflector like this:

It all depends on the look and lighting you're going for

would love to have the results like yours, my model has recently had a baby so she's happy she's getting her figure back, i think we're just going for a laid back shoot, i'm thinking some golden hour shots and maybe a few sunset shots with water. i might take the reflector and a spare tripod to hang it off to see if that helps.
