Many thanks Don... Yep it was the team that took this over the top...
Makeup and Wardrobe styling was totally awesome...
All I had to do was light the set and capture the moment. :)

If fashion is the subject, why not a full length photo?
Great question!
Fashion is divided into multiple genre Catalog; Lifestyle; Editorial etc... there are gray area between Lifestyle and Editorial... but Catalog (where the money is) typically is only about the actual clothing (or accessories).
a.k.a. Catalog is what you see typically in product advertisements...
However major brands may actually attempt to identify it's "Brand" with a particular "Lifestyle"
Take Nike... Shoes are pretty boring, however put them on an epic Basket Ball Star and they come alive!
Ok what is Editorial? Open a copy of VOGUE and you'll find "Fashion Stories" that actually showcase models and their lifestyle not so much the clothing...
Below is from a "Catalog" series I did for a local fashion designer...
She ask me to showcase her textile artistry not the model...
Hope this helps... thanks!
Thomas, your lighting skills are over the top excellent in every way.
Beautiful. I love the way the shadows work with the dress making the colors, particularly the reds, "pop."
Exceptional as usual (by definition, can "usual" actually be "exceptional"?) Is this really a one-light photo? Thanks, team!

As are your stellar Lifestyle Surfing Editorials Brent...
You are so fortunate to have the breathtaking Pacific Ocean available as a venue.
Possibly one of the most epic recreational and fitness facilities in the US
Please stay safe and all the best on your journey...

Been a while since I shot these images...
Believe the first is a single light, while the second was too large strip softboxes...
Please stay safe and enjoy your journey dat2ra...

Great color - and what a beauty!
Again many thanks joecichjr... and I totally agree both models are stellar... both are agency... and it was truly a privilege to collaborate with them... It is their radiant beauty that makes me looks good...
Oft said if you want to take exceptional images then by all means place something exceptional in front of your lens... took me awhile to get my head around this axiom...
Please stay safe and all the best on your fabulous journey Joe...

Many thanks for your kind words tom... I've been at this for a very long time... and I still learn with every session... It's a passion that has never faded... However it is the synergy of the entire team that can and does take a session entirely to the next level... Many of the concepts are not mine but instead brought to image equation by the other stellar members of the team...
I'm only a single member of an enchanting team... and I'm truly grateful for the privilege to collaborate with such amazing players...
