The Making of Mistress of the Metropolitan
Recently, some fellow photogs asked where (and how) I took this shot:
The model is Misha. A few weeks ago (early March), we decided to do a photo shoot in my rooftop pool that overlooks downtown Atlanta. My goal was to capture her in a seductive sense of luxury with a slight metropolitan feel. Trent Chau, another great fellow photographer, graciously helped out that night while I climbed into the pool to get my shot:

Fortunately, the pool is heated and only 3ft. deep (yes, the camera is insured). And, no, I did not use the pop-up flash to take the shot. It was only used to remotely trigger the SB-900 (full power) to my left and the one directly behind Misha (1/4 power as a hair light). I could’ve used the 70mm-200mm f/2.8 from the other side of the pool, but I felt it was necessary to get this shot from no more than a few feet away. So, I wound up using the 24mm-70mm f/2.8 instead.
All-in-all, I think it turned out pretty well. The only problem was getting out of the pool. It’s frakking freezing when the cold March wind hits you!
