I post informal photos of friends as examples of casual photos of the portrait style but don't post any client photos. Here is one that was a few hours before a formal photo shoot for a top glossy bridal fashion magazine. The later shoot was very interesting and the only one where armed guards were stationed at every door because the featured gown has over $1 million dollars in gems sewn into the spectacular wedding dress.
Before hand, the model was relaxing on the beach in the resort. She is a really beautiful girl even if I am biased since she is my girlfriend's daughter who I first shot when she was 13 year. She is not wearing any makeup, but her flawless skin looks great even when waking up in the morning. Luckily for me, mom has about the same figure and share clothes, although mom has a slightly thicker waist. Daughter is 24.
This is a snap shot, no lights or set up, just perfect light, model and scene as they were. In fact that is her mom's bikini.
