Jason Tag Photography

On Sunday afternoon I had the pleasure of shooting again with Ashleigh.  I met Ashleigh last summer and we had a great time working together then.  And of course we had a great time on Sunday as well.  Since I had already shot with her with lava rocks and in the woods, I decided that this time Id like to shoot with her on one of my favorite beaches to shoot at.  I love the beach because it’s just an open stretch of beach that is usually empty.  I also like it because it like a blank canvas.  You really have to think about what to do there because at first glance…it’s just a beach.  But once you get into the place you start seeing all these things that you might not have noticed before.  A stand of trees, or the rocks in the shorebreak.  It’s the kind of location that demands creativity but can also be very fun tp play with and just see what you get as well.

On this particular shoot I was mainly looking to reinforce the habits that I had been re-learning.  And I slipped a few times but was able to catch myslef each time and set myself straight.  For the most part I got good, clean, interesting images.  Good compositions, in sharp focus.

Towards the end of the shoot Ashleigh was sitting in the shore break and when I changed my position to get another angle of the pose.  I saw an amazing sunset happening right above the mountains behind us.  I quickly framed my shot and started shooting.  I just about died right then and there.  I felt that these were the best images of the day.  And I broke my 3 shot rule because it was just gorgeous to see it and shoot it.

I am grateful to Ashleigh for being such a great model and such a beautiful human being.
