Greeting the Wind

I cannot begin to tell you how exciting it is to see an idea come to life! For a couple months, I had this concept in mind of fusing fabric, motion, and beauty to create some dramatic imagery. It took a while for all the pieces to come together, but when it did, it was amazing :) Maenani modeled in the fabric, and Kay assisted with lighting, which turned out to be a godsend in the 30 mph winds that we had that day. 

If there's one thing I've learned from this, it's that our best work, as artists, often comes from things that present the biggest challenges to us. This shoot had so many different elements and took several weeks to plan, but everyone involved gave it 110% and we came away with some very dramatic imagery that we are all be very proud of.


Thanks for reading guys :D

If you were wondering about the set up for this shoot....
--Nikon D300 w/17-55mm 2.8
--Kay held a SB900 w/24 inch softbox on a light stand (she almost blew away in the wind lol)
--strobe fired manually at 1/2 or full power.
--camera set on f22, ISO 200, 1/250 sec
--SB900 triggered with Pocket Wizard Flex TT5
