If your not doing that for a living... Its all about having fun..

which i see you have....as for the boots yes they are real but sometimes you gotta cheat..;. i mean how many women go snowboarding in bikinis in the first place? and big feet are not attractive on women...and decide which is most important,,,the car or the woman and make that clear to the viewer...

oh and stop blaming the model...you are the photographer/director..give her something that is natural for her...

good luck and be sure to post more of your work..

Are you familiar with the concept of "fill light" its widely used in outdoor model photography in bright light situations..You should learn that as one of the basic tools.,l used it in shooting my car which I use as an avatar..Notice how the shadows have been lightened, in this case just a bit .,it works great with women because the sun is not in their faces and so the skin is soft and the eyes are not squinting...You should also learn that and techniques of skin softening, ,.,Do you use a photo program? I use abobe photoshop elements,,,its a lot cheaper than the full version and can do most of the same things.,absolute necessity to have such a program and Adobe is the best known and widest used so you will find lots of others you can share info and techniques with!
Have fun!

Yes i usually do flash photography but the sun is soft in this time of the year in Canada specially around 3-5pm. If i cant use reflectors (cuz im working by myself) ill go with my Gary Fong lightsphere if im shooting outside. And i can always add a lil bit of fill light in Photoshop if the shadows are too harsh. but im very happy with the results i got from that shoot and it was the 2nd time for her doing an actual photoshoot so it was great. I gave her a few model magazines so she can catch up with the new poses and stuff.
