11-24-07 - This beauty image was shot in a hotel room in Boca Raton and the entire shoot took about 2 hours. The challenge is to shoot in such a confined space and still get a great shot.

11-21-07 - This beauty image was shot on Hollywood Beach. The original concept was to shoot in the water however the wind was too strong and huge waves would make it almost impossible to shoot so I had the model sit on a lifeguard stand to elevate her which kept the sand out of her eyes. I did not like her swimsuit for this type of beauty shot so I grabbed a towel I had brought and had her drop the swimsuit straps and hold the towel up. We shot 80 images in about 20 minutes.
