Professional Swimwear Photography

If you're considering a model portfolio shoot, you should take advantage of the opportunity to have modelling photos done on a spectacular beach. Not your average little seaside patch of sand- but one of the many beaches in Australia which offer stunning photographic opportunity.

Look like a model from a swimwear catalogue or calendar in your portfolio photo shoot.

Beaches as Locations

The best beaches for portfolio photography are those which offer more than simply sand and water.

The scenery, rocks, cliffs and overhangs of a beach can bring images to life, and offers much more to photographers and models.
Light plays differently at seaside locations- the colour of rocks or sand can reflect a tint back into the photos, which can be used to advantage.

Style It!

If you are buying new swimwear for your photos, check that the colours don't conflict with the natural colours of the landscape.
Proper styling- or art direction in an image- trumps over shooting endless photos anytime.

Just one or two outfits will work well at the beach. If you have broad shoulders, don't buy a bandeau style bikini, as it leaves the viewer's attention sitting squarely on your shoulders. Wider straps work better. Narrow shoulders call for narrow straps.

Beach Photography Accessories

Having modelling photos done on the beach, is a fantastic chance to go a little wild with your accessories and styling.

Perhaps you can find some shells- perhaps seaside shops will have jewellery or fashion accessories to complement your swimwear.

Don't forget shoes- they can make a positive visual difference to the way you stand.

Swimwear Photography

New swimwear is best for portfolio photography.
It doesn't take look before that new lustre is gone from bathing costumes.

Morning light is cool and clear- and the beaches are quiet.
