1st bikini shooting 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
Nearly two weeks ago I went to Spain and for UjENA's Bikini Jam, 5 hours flight from where I live in Finland. It was a fun experience then it was really my first time taking bikini shots outdoors. Something I want to do again.

What is fun with this shot is that it was meant to only to check the exposure. I mixed ambient light with flash. The 580EX II was mounted on a light stand with a translucent umbrella camera right hold by an assistant. In same moment as I took the photograph a wind brief filled her face. I checked the exposure which was correct, and I was done with the shooting. I didn't take any more picture after the test shot.

What do you think, should I have taken more pictures or do you think as me that I've got it?

Best

Robert

I like this shot, the lighting and composition is great. I think the touch of cross light on the models face and eyes adds a nice touch.

I think you should have taken several shots and angles and worked a little more on the positioning of the arm that she is leaning onto.

Great Work!

Hey Robert! Long time no hear! I like the dramatic lighting but yes always shoot more! Shoot until your finger hurts! I might lighten the shadows under her eyes a little in PS.
