Photoshoot with Dani

Shooting weddings can be pretty stressful sometimes, and every now and then I need a break. Don't get me wrong, I love shooting weddings, and families, and sports, but just like everyone, I need some me time. Which is exactly why I decided to collaborate with Dani. Dani is a pretty great person who I have never worked with before, and I love how my photos of her turned out.

We decided to our shoot in downtown Oceanside, right south of Camp Pendleton. There they have one of the longest piers on the west coast, and usually draws a decent crowd, especially during summer, and that is what I wanted to capture in some of the photos. I wanted to have a sense of detachment from the rest of the crowd, which thanks to wide open apertures, was pretty easy to achieve.

As the light faded, we decided to switch gears We had Dani change into a black romper, and went underneath a bridge with some cool, simple lines. I brought out my flash, and bounced it around, which lent itself to making some interesting slighting effects.

Afterwards, we moved into the corner of a stairwell, which although didn't smell the best, resulted in some killer shots.
