Emma and The Salton Sea

I've done a cool shoot with Emma from Colorado at Salton Sea
a few days ago... a beautifully bizarre place.
Only down side is the heat at this time of year, it was 105 on the day of the shoot and it gets even hotter (up to 115) in the Summer. I almost passed out, even though I am used to the desert heat and drink lots of water.
Emma is one of those girls who does not need any makeup at all, so my makeup artist Roshar
barely put anything on her.

I love the crackled ground! And the tree sticking out of the water was just bizarre.
I have to admit that it can be really challenging to shoot in the desert without strobes. The sun light can be really bright and brutal. And not many models want to put up with it. Emma was a real trooper!
