We just finished our 2012 European rendezvous with colleagues and students from different parts of Europe. We had a blast, and literally shot in every kind of lighting situations in different cities.
In Paris, we shot shoes at the Rue the Rivoli with real models and a lot of traffic.
Although the weather was not the friendliest, meaning a lot of rain and wind; we were able to use the water reflections at our advantadge, creating nice reflections on the wet shoes. Luckily it rained on and off.

We continued in Vienna, using Schonbrun Palace as the perfect background for wedding photography.
The weather was perfect, and the sky really blue.

Next, Budapest, an incredible city by the Danube river, the theme was "casual photography"with controlled lighting, using reflectors.
We moved a bench into a shaded area and played with different angles of incident light.
We had the chance to have a make up artist onsite.
