Photography Details
The shoot was done mostly using natural sunset light. This is particularly easy to work with since it is quite soft and very directional - which makes it easy to bring out the details and shadows simply by changing the direction the model is facing. For the black and white portraits, a Bowens strobe was used to add some fill and also to bring out the highlighter. Makeup in general is the first thing to suffer when we take shortcuts with lighting so do keep that in mind
The water shots we lit using a YongNuo YN-360 Wand LED (Credits to Steve Muliett for showing this one to me) which has a stronger, more directional beam than you find on rectangular LED panels
In terms of location, we used the area outside Manikata (Malta) and Ghajn Tuffieha Beach
