Desert shoot with Nilanti & Jade Wifey

[Bigram]

Hey wassup yall, recently I finally had the chance to go to L.A. and see what its all about. I was there only for a few days but I must say I had a lot of fun. So i figured since Im going to be in that part of states, I might as well shoot at a desert location. The location was in Palmdale so im guessing I didnt get the full desert experience. But it was different for me. Nilanti and Jade both agreed on shooting so that was a plus and they were my first professional models. I wish I could have gotten them in a magazine but I realized that my shots aren't sexy enough im guessing. I think I need to start posing my models a little more "nastier" if thats the right word to use. But it was fun working with them and I love L.A. so far and wish I could be out there more often. Hope you guys like the shots.

Hey wassup thanx man, I used a alien bee 800 with a soft box and alien bee ringflash.

I was wondering is the ring flash crucial to provide that highlight on the flesh. Or will the beauty dish can do the same? thanks

Well i never tried a beauty dish but i figured that it would send out a more broader light but it wont hurt to try. I really dont care too much for the ring flash lighting quality alone by itself but with a second or third light to me looks alot better.
