I get to collaborate with Lisbeth again today, and it was a blast working with her.

Even though we originally intended to work together on some swimwear images, but Lisbeth brought along a lot of other casual and fashion outfits that we shot in those as well. The way things turned out was absolutely great because the night before, a thick layer of coastal fog came in unexpectedly, and hence by the time we are out in the Point Reyes National Seashore, CA and surrounding areas, it was totally filled with such special “foggy” type scenaries and it created such a unique mood.

Playing on that setting, we took advantage of what we have, and improvised accordingly.

By the time we got to Point Reyes National Seashore proper later in the afternoon, the sun pretty much burnt out most of the fog, and it awarded the opportunity we had planned for, swimwear images!

Here are the 3 images that Jennifer submitted to Undiscovered.com:

In a shoot we did last year, 2 of the outfits that Nicole brought to the set inspired the following 2 shots, which I think resembled closely one of those “Ralph Lauren” ads.

With an outdoor, country setting, combined with some abandoned farm equipment as props and background sets, the shot on the left was taken with Nicole under the shade. The uneven lighting conditions coming through the leaves overhead created a somewhat mysterious mood to the image, without having the highlight areas being too “hot” that it overshadowed everything else.

The shot on the right was my favorite. With her expression exactly the way I had envisioned and a reflector situated on the left, the shot was taken with all my favorite compositional techniques I love, that is, multiple diagonal lines across the image, and strong highlight and shadow conditions to make the image dimensional.

I met Lisbeth in the same Tracy, CA photoshoot that photographer Ben put together.

Totally unique to her in terms of the mood and attitudes portrayed, it was a blast working together with Lisbeth.
