Shooting outdoors

The make-up was done in our hotel (the base) and the rest added at the car but. Left to do on location was for Terese get her hair fixed and then to sit on a towel in the sun for an hours. Hard job. :-)

Victoria got the old baby oil treatment. The best baby oil is Barnängen's since it is absorbed just right by the skin.
Here are some another tips for the aspiring photographer or model who wants to look perfect:
*Always remove any tight clothes at least 30 minutes before the shoot if you are planning a nude shoot. That is needed for the skin to loose the marks from the underwear, bra, socks etc.
*Always use a bathrobe when the model is not in front of the camera. The skin gets cold very quickly and before the models notice it, leaving hard to edit colorization of the skin. And you guessed it, the bathrobe is also good for not having nude models wandering around to lose skin marks...

In a bright, high exposure range like this outdoor shoot, the Hasselblad really shines. It picks up the dark shadows between the stones and still gets the real color of the sky! Just aim and expose correctly and you are done. Well... picking the right lens, posture, shooting direction etc etc is also vital. Sometimes I wonder how it is possible to get all things right.
For example this time after Terese shoot I noticed I incorrectly had put the autofocus on Continuous! The Hasselblad has only one focusing point and that is in the middle. So when using the auto focus you sometimes focus first and then compose the picture, having to move the focus spot to a area closer or further away from where you want to keep the focus. You keep the by pressing the shutter button halfway. But that does not work on continuous! So I was horrified to notice this after finishing that hour of shooting, where most of the part was endless sky. Thankfully the tree caught the auto focus in most of my shots. I was scared as h*ll before I had checked my shots in the camera LCD.
