One of the things I enjoy most about being a photographer , is that over the years I have had the opportunity to ravel and shoot in some amazing locations all over the world, I have been very blessed , and in this blog post I will talk about how I was fortunate enough to shoot in my Portuguese home town of Caldas Da Rainha .
The Job was to create four singular images that tell the story of designer Rose Palhares .

Designer Rose Palhares has a wonderful smile on camera .

Rose Palhares is a creative , ambitious designer originally from Angola , Africa . Whom has moved to Lisbon , Portugal to create a name for her self on the Global fashion scene, voted Best Angolan Designer 2013 Best International Designer 2015 and Vogue Italy´s Most Interesting Designer 2016, she is definitely on her way to stardom . Although the concept was simple, kinda , there were allot of complications involved . The Producer Pedro Davim also a native to Caldas da Rainha decided on shooting in the beautiful coastal city because it had all the requirements any successful shoot needed a variety of rich , unique and diverse locations in fairly short traveling distance , however photographing in the winter on location out doors with the elements are tricky shoot days, one disadvantage is that there are less day light hours , It was very cloudy , rainy and gloomy day , to be honest I love shooting in days like this usually . Those are the days with best light if you can catch it , days like this its all about being prepared for what ever comes your way ,

The first image of the campaign was to take us back to the designers childhood, and the zungeiras or street vendors, She remembered as a kid seeing all the beautiful colors from the food and flowers being sold but also the colorful clothes the woman would turn into skirts and dresses. The African Cloth Symbolizes the art of living, it makes the connection between ancient times and present generations and is witness to the cultural richness of the diversity of everyday life, It is African Tradition , therefore , the cloth is not a vulgar piece of cloth , it is a vector and testimony of the art of living in Africa, Rose wanted to showcase this in the models dress and head peace, the location , Praca da Fruta, Portugal’s oldest fresh fruit market, its has been open to the public since 1883 and would be the perfect setting for this part of our story.

This was technically the second set of the day , I ended up shooting a couple hours later then I would have liked and being a week day at it was raining at this point allot of the venders had already started to pack up and I didn’t have ass much color and natural light like I wanted originally.

I used a Profoto B1 off camera flash with Giant Silver reflector from FJWestcott as my main and only light source besides the sun , and considering it was drizzling for most of the shoot , it was like shooting with a huge soft box with grids , and your always under exposed , The Giant reflector brings allot of light onto set . I shot with my Hasselblad HD3-39, I wasn’t sure how big the the final images needed to be , I decided to use the maxim resolution camera I have at my disposable.

The second image of the campaign was shot in the Campo da Mata , a huge field filled with beautiful rows of perfect tress , they created a surreal scenery for our shoot . The concept here was Rose personified as the little girl was sowing a hem on a dress and there was a field of blank mannequins that she would soon imagine dresses for , kind of the processor to the designer we know and love so much today , there is also a little element , the rag doll in which the child designer has already created clothing for , because in truth that were it all began for her .

I kept a Profoto B1 off camera flash with Giant Silver reflector from FJWestcott as my main light source and a reflector to reduce unwanted shadows on the models. Also used two Profoto B2 to light the mannequins in the background. I shot with my Hasselblad HD3-39.

I almost always Have a tripod on set its mandatory , I use 3 Legged Thing Albert ,

The third set, my favorite image of the series .

For this shot I used two Profoto B2 to light the background and used Profoto B1 off camera flash with Giant Silver reflector from FJWestcott and a Profoto B2 as main lights to make the model stand out. It was drizzling on and off all morning so I had the model use a 7 Diffusion Umbrella from FJWestcott as a prop because it just looked amazing but also to protect her a little from the elements .

The last set of the day

To create the final image I used a Profoto B1 hiden inside a Fresnel and a Profoto B2 also hidden inside a Ari 1000 as backlight. Since the gear would be in frame I decided to hide them to create a more cinematic feel. For my main light I used a Profoto B1 with a 36 inch Rapidbox by Westcott. I added a secondary Profoto B2 as a extra fill light to give it an extra kick. I also used a reflector to shape the light and erase unwanted shadows.
