BTS: Macau High Fashion Photography Part 2

We arrive early and checking the sun light We setup lighting with "hypersync / fake hss / highsync / supersync" and full CTO gel to shit the boring sky to blue In plan A I will shoot with one light + Umbrella deep m silver to render the photograph with contrast direction light, and the setting sun will work as the rim light to make the grass flower pop. (high fashion is no rules right ;) )   Designer arrive and set up take a bit longer then the plan, when they are done... the sun is set. (tracing the sun is a risk promise) It's lucky I have Plan B in my pocket :D, Since the sun will gone soon... we take the shoot that use macau tower as background asap. Then break down the lighting, and move them to another direct, this time we add the softcover to the umbrella deep silver to make it as a softbox, and take out our spare ring flash as on axis fill. Pre scouting is very important, this all process / issue is already in my brain and can be switch asap ;) NOTE: Always do "Pre Production", "have plan b", "Ask client fund to hire more than they believe, they know nothing about photography", "find client with budget to spend".
