Seductive sultry siren Sophia Smith is locked in steel shackles in her silky satin dress! Barefoot in the bluebells, she is the

epitome of elegance, her glorious hair shimmering in the sunlight....

This set was one of Steve's "shallow depth of field" projects from our location shoot. He'd kindly hired an additional Sony A7RIII

for the shoot to make sure we had enough cameras to go around, and had also grabbed a copy of my favourite lens of all for the Sony system- the delicious 85mm f/1.4 GM. Shot wide open with a decent separation in distance between Sophia and the background, this gives a dreamy shallow depth of field look. By this point in the trip we'd pretty much figured out how to shoot this reliably: high speed

sync on the Elinchrom ELB500 but turning TTL off, and chancing our arm a little with exposure at 1/1600th of a second or so. We also realised we needed to put the flash unit closer than we usually do with the Hensel units. That nicely counterbalanced the backlighting from the sun, and resulted in these absolutely dreamy and stunning shots!
