GROWN: Behind the Lens, Part 4

Recently,  photographer Matt Shepherd (aquaseen) met up with a few of our gorgeous Brazilian friends for a 7am beach shoot near Kirra, on the QLD/NSW Boarders here in Australia.  The Surf was a bit flat, but the weather was perfect and the water was nice and warm! 

Our intent was to capture something natural and simply let the girls just have a bit of fun with it.  Not having a fully planned out shoot can really pay off sometimes and what can come out of it are really natural shots.   Matt was using some of his Nikon gear with a long range lens to facilitate this idea and keep from constantly being right in their faces, or a distraction.

We were stoked with the results below, and ended up with some really crisp and brightly colored natural images.  A great summary to another great shoot!  You can see more of the days photos in the GROWN photo Gallery.

GROWN: Behind the Lens part 3

In 'behind the lens' part 2 we offered a rare perspective of Photographer Matt Shepherd (aquaseen.com) taking some underwater product shots.   This time we are showing some snaps from a shoot at the beach in laid-back Byron Bay where we were working with Skatergirl Hailey and our World-traveller friend Jordan.   It went a little something like this:

"click" ...... "click" 

"uh... you wanna go for a swim? "   

"Ok!"

... and back to it...

repeat

add a surf

repeat.

Not surprisingly, but after a VERY laid back day we got some great shots!  See the final edited snaps on the GROWN website.

Skating is Part of Hailey's daily routine, luckily we caught her right out of the surf!  She took some great pics!
