This contemporary beauty advertising image was shot in the harbor in Argengno, Italy on Lake Como close to sunset. I had shot in this town several times before and I wanted to find a new location so I spotted a small harbor. I drove to a parking lot close by and asked the crew to wait while I scouted. I found what I was looking for so I hot footed back to the van and moved it to another parking lot so we could have everything close. As soon as we arrived the model changed and my styling team worked on the wardrobe and hair & makeup. I knew I would have some extra time to shoot while my assisting crew set up the strobes for the “Hero” shot, so I asked Emiliano to setup a Sunbounce Pro reflector for me to to use and to let me know when they had all of the strobe gear in place and assembled. I had the model sit on the stairs and I sat below her with the reflector in front of her and just out of camera sight. We shot for maybe 5 minutes when Emiliano shouted. “We're ready!”

About the image

harbor of Argengno, Italy, situated on the scenic shores of Lake Como, as the sun was setting. Familiar with the town from previous shoots, I sought out a fresh location and discovered a small harbor. Leaving the crew momentarily, I quickly scouted the area and found the perfect spot. Returning promptly to the van, I relocated it to a nearby parking lot, ensuring convenience for our setup. As soon as we arrived, the model changed into her attire, while the styling team meticulously worked on wardrobe, hair, and makeup.

Anticipating some extra time before the "Hero" shot, I instructed Emiliano to set up a Sunbounce Pro reflector for me to use, and to alert me once the strobe equipment was fully assembled. Taking advantage of the moment, I had the model position herself on the stairs above me, while I sat below, utilizing the reflector just out of the camera's sight. We began shooting, and after around five minutes, Emiliano excitedly exclaimed, "We're ready!" signaling the completion of the strobe setup. I then sent the model to the set and setup to shoot the image above.
