Wonder Woman Bikini Shoot with Kelly

November 11, 2015

A few weeks ago I wrote about my impromptu "bridal" shoot with one of my favorite new models, Kelly from Knoxville, Tennessee (click here to see/read).  While that portion of our shoot was shot at the main house of the fantastic Swann Plantation, this series of bikini photos was shot later that hot, humid day in the large barn on site that also serves as its own event center.

In the upstairs of the barn we found some suspended frames that were certainly no strangers to other photographers' subjects.  So my assistant and I had Kelly put on a Wonder Woman bikini and fired off some shots with my trusty Olympus OMD-EM5 body and favorite micro 4/3rds lens, the Panny-Leica 42.5mm/1.2 Nocticron.  Here is my lighting setup:

As in the opening photo, camera EXIF is the same:
1/125 second, f/1.2, ISO 250

Here are the photos that turned out:

BONUS! Here's a behind-the-scenes video of this particular shoot, shot with the Panasonic GH4 (don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel wink wink):

Special thanks again to Swann Plantation for the amazing location, and to Adam Phelps my trusty lighting assistant :)
