Lemonade has never really been something I go out of my way for. It’s there, it’s fine, but it’s not something I think much about.
But photography has a way of shifting things.
Give me the right light, the right setting, and the right two women, and suddenly it stops being about the drink. It becomes about what’s happening around it, what the camera turns it into.
At that point, I’m not really interested in lemonade.
I’m watching it.
And that’s where it lands for me. With the right setup, it becomes less of a refreshment and more of my idea of a spectator sport. I love it!
The time at Sunrise and Sunset when the light is just right for photographs. I was asked yesterday in an interview if that is when I try to do most of my photography. The answer is yes and no. If it works out that way, ok. But more often than not it doesn’t, so you have to make it work. And especially when you have very bright hot overhead Sun much of the time.
The first step, someone gorgeous and fun in from of your camera, Maria Bertrand. Next step, an incredible Makeup and Hair Stylist, Blanche LeBeau. Third step, wonderful lighting and reliable equipment, Broncolor. Finally the superb Hasselblad digital camera system. See! Wasn’t that easy!
