Fashion Shoot - Queensland, Australia

I wanted to share my fashion shoot from Maleny Botanic Gardens and tell you a little bit about how I achieved these images.  Credits to Tamika Husdon from Tamika Makeup and Beauty for hair and make up and to Sara Hatten-Masterson from The Image Boutique for her creative styling efforts and of coarse I couldn't have done it without Erin-May Blackburn, my beautiful model for the day.
Several of these images have been successful in publication on various fine art websites and online magazines so congratulations to my team.  
I also want to thank Salita Matthews and George Wu for the fantastic gowns and jewellery they provided for this shoot.
My vision was to shoot this entire series outdoors to utilise the beautiful scenery available to us in Queensland.  "High fashion meets the great outdoors".  I used a Canon 6D wtih a 85mm f/1.2 lens.  To assist the natural light I used a speedlite with the ever portable Apollo Orb, where appropriate.

Image made with Canon 6D, 85mm Lens, using natural light behind sun me (model facing), polariser attached to lens, camera settings: 1/400, f/2.0 ISO 100, post processing Photoshop CS6, I wanted to utilise the wind therefore it really dicated where the model faced and the position of the light that is why I left this look until last after the sun set so there wasn't harsh shadows across the model
