About the event

In this event you will be shooting a model against hopefully a stunning sunrise. We will be using strobes to light the model in a natural way to match that of the background. The event is to be held at Port Melbourne Beach. The model for this event will be Olivia, pictured above. There is also a shot of what the outfit may be. Greg Thomas will also be assisting with this event. Finally the Sony Alpha Melbourne Facebook group will be meeting at the nearby My Hobson cafe at 10am.
