I got a call from a model friend who wanted me to shoot some pictures of her for a calendar. I only had three hours to pack my equipment, drive to the bar, shoot the shots, and get out of the bar before their customers arrived. My audience included the model, her mom, the client, his assistant, the bartenders, the waitresses and the bar owner -- no pressure. On top of that, one of my Alien Bees wouldn't work ... so all these shots were taken with two lights and an SB-800 hairlight ... plus a lot of sweating bullets. Looking back -- there's a lot I'd have done differently, but the client and model love the shots. Lesson learned = alwqays bring more equipment than you think you need!
