About the image

This client wanted something fun and unique for a destination shoot in London. We decided to go with a “mob boss” vibe with the wardrobe, hair, and makeup. We shot across from the House of Parliament to get Elizabeth Tower behind her. We need to keep the setup simple and compact so we can avoid other people in this public space but get the shot quickly. To do this, I had an assistant on camera right with a Profoto B10+ at full power to overpower the sun and give some drama to the image. The model was standing against a low wall, and the assistant was standing in front of a wall that stood well over their heads. The sun was high in the sky.
