    Spring Fling 2018 - Britannia Beach

    Take 70 photographers and around a dozen models and put them out on a beach on the Ottawa River on a nice, sunny and clear (not a cloud in the sky) afternoon. Temperatures were pushing 28C / 82F and the models tell me that the water was remarkably warm for the time of year (most people wait until July to get into the water).

    Pure mayhem and terrible shooting conditions. It was a "time for images" shoot. Hopefully some of the models will be happier with the results than I was.

    Heavy duty fill flash can only do so much...

    Nice series, was the guy in the second shot one of the models or a bystander: either way it makes for a realistic excursion shot where the set is uncontrolled-meaning no crowd control?

    He is another one of the models, being shot by another group. He just happened to be in a place where I thought I could use him as a compositional element.

    There was no "crowd control"; we were shooting in an area that was well away from the main beach, so fewer people were there. That being said, when you have 70+ photographers and a dozen or more active models, people do show up to see what is going on.

    The question I usually get at a group shoot is "is the model famous?" and if I respond just an excursion the gawker usually moves on; unless the model is scantily dressed.
