Editorial Shoot on Lake Maggiore

Kate's Fashion Editorial shoot on Lake Maggiore

 It was a beautiful evening in October, and we didn’t want to be out for too long. But we couldn’t resist the opportunity to capture something beautiful and what better way than with a editorial shoot .

This was shot using a Sony a7riii and a Sony 35mm GMaster Lens

the settings were 1/250 f/14 ISO 100. (please note these are affiliate links and I receive a commission when something is purchased. This taken from amazon not you. Also hopefully this will be a way to keep this blog free)


So for most of the shoot I was using a Godox Speedlight V1S set to 1/4 at the start then going to 1/2 when the battery started getting lower as it wasn't properly charged before going out.


I was trying to make the flash as soft as possible just to fill in the the light a reflector would. In these circumstances its just easier shooting this way with a flash & diffuser and setting my colour balance in the middle of the sun temperature compared to the flash.


As the sun dipped below the horizon, we continued to chase the last remnants of daylight. Kate’s silver dress, now softly illuminated by twilight, created a captivating contrast against the setting sun.


As Kate gracefully sat on the boat, the water mirrored the fading sunlight, creating a mesmerising reflection. The silver dress seemed to dance with the ripples, embodying the tranquility of the moment.


So just take a minute to enjoy these pictures of Kate set against this stunning background while we put together some more exclusive insights into what we have in store for you as you'll see everything before everyone else and well a lot more too.


For the Photographers looking for my shooting settings I've created a gallery for you with the settings on each picture here: https://kate-lake-maggiore.kristianeustace.com/
