I love behind the scenes pictures. I recently was on a photo walk during the king tide in Santa Monica. It occurs twice a year where amazing reflections from lights cast down on the wet sand and the water below.
While I did capture quite a bit of the ferris wheel and deep orange glowy sunset. I wanted something different. I captured the photographers standing in line and one accidentally by himself. Technically these are not great but I had fun exploring new techniques. Keep your eyes open……
Recently I had a complex business shoot that was broken out in two days. There was a ton of concern with the marketing team that we would be facing no sunlight and also a major storm that was expected to blow through. I did have to make a call to shift day 2 outdoor shoot to the day before because of the storm but ensured the team that shooting in outdoor natural light ( no sun ) is actually a good thing too.
For this particular project it was actually a benefit not dealing with the sun. At times especially in So Cal our sun is bright and can be harsh. We had success everywhere on the grounds not having to worry about shadows or harsh lines. So no sunlight, no problem!
