I shoot tethered for all of my commercial and editorial work so there was no question that I would be for this personal shoot as well. I find it a necessity for checking focus, seeing all the variations I’ve shot, correcting any issues on set, and applying a quick treatment in Capture One. It was great to show the girls how amazing they looked and that really helped keep their already confident attitudes high!
As far as gear, I shot with Profoto lights and one of their Deep Umbrella’s, plus a Lastolite scrim with a Photek Softlighter firing through it. I also used a Nikon D800 and 24-70 lens. The candid images from the camp (posted on my site) were shot with my D800 and the 35mm and 50mm Sigma Art lenses, with a Nikon 70-200mm for the performance night. I also used Think Tank rollers for all the gear.
