Shooting with a Goddess
So much has been going on this week that it’s taken me till now to write about the shoot I did last Sunday with Ashleigh. It was a fantastic shoot… and we had a great time playing with the location I selected. The location was a hiking trail that I had never shot with before, but it’s located up in the mountains above Honolulu. And offered some really nice opportunities for some great shots.
We started off the shoot playing with a piece of fabric I had leftover from a shoot in January, that I never used. So we decided to play some more with fabric. It was a good choice and I think Ashleigh really had a great time with it. On this particular trail there used to be a tree that had grown up and over the trail creating a tree bridge across the trail. I was hoping to shoot with this tree. But when we got there we say that it had been cut down. Probably due to it falling on the trail causing a hazard to hikers. So we shot with the tree stump instead.
As we moved down the trail the foliage opened up and the sun looked amazingly beautiful against her skin… so we stopped there to shoot. We did s few shots with the fabric and a few without. We probably should have stayed here and shot the rest of the time. The light here was fantastic. but we did move one and we played with a lot of other trees and even got some shots of Ashleigh in a small stream.
We encountered a few hikers and had to stop several times to wait for them to pass and get out of view and then we started back up again. She was a real champ in this department because we were interrupted a few times and I felt bad because I didn’t expect the trail to be that popular on a Sunday morning… That day there were at least 5 groups we had to wait for. But we still got great shots, so I don’t mind.
Ashleigh is a great model and a fun person to hang out with… and of course she’s an incredibly beautiful person as well. We had a great time and I’m sure we’ll be shooting together again soon….
