Beach Shoot

Here are a few pics I took on the Cornish coast.  I tried to achieve a few different looks.

My favourite part of this image is the model's upper leg.  I have retouched the image to make her leg look extra smooth to create more of a hot sunkissed look (although it was spring time and freezing!)

Took me quite a few shots to achieve this image as I was waiting for the right wave to splash up against her.

This is one of my favourite images of all time.  I like the way the rope is tied around the model's arm.  I asked her to do this to try to incorporate the beam.  I wanted a hot 'sailor-like' look and I felt that by holding the rope this added depth to the image.

This is a longer view of this image.  I really like how the model has raised her right leg up to give her body more curves in front of a straight beam.

To create this image I used retouching methods to lower the saturation of the colours to create a softer image.

For this image I increased the contrast and saturation to give a sweatier look and to suggest a hotter temperature to the freezing spring weather the poor model had to pose in.
