Shooting Diary - Today's Shoot With Sienna (Patreon)

At our last shoot Sienna and I agreed we would shoot again when she was in training for her bikini comps (a toned down body building competition). That was today!

This was a glamour/boudoir shoot done at the Tall Dark and Art House of Boudoir, where many of my Patreon posts have been shot. It has a wide variety of shoot spaces, and today we did three looks.

The first (the cover image for this post) was done at the glass doors at the front of the house. It was a bright day outside and so I was able to use that light to white out most of the door and give more light wrapping around Sienna. I added in two Godox AD200pro flashes to make sure there was enough light inside the room, they are placed either side of the model.

After that we went to the back yard to catch some rays.

We found the mix of colours - the green of the grass, the red of the towel, the maroon of her bikini and the brown of her skin and hair to be a pleasant mix. Lit with just the Sun, it took us a few tries to get the angles right for the light to fall well on Sienna.

Finally we shot in the bedroom.

This room has recently been redecorated and the new palette worked really well with Sienna's colouring. The light for this was a technique I have used a couple of times lately and I am enjoying the results - a single flash pointed into a 72-inch umbrella, situated off to the left of the camera. Really soft light that wraps nicely around the model.

Now for those wondering, yes, Sienna did pose nude and/or topless in each of these scenes, but you will have to wait for the sets to be published.
