Swimwear Photoshoot in Palm Beach

Swimwear · Palm Beach County

A swimwear photoshoot in Palm Beach with Felipe Restrepo is a directed shoot on the sand, by a pool or on a boat, anywhere in Palm Beach County. It is for the woman who wants to be photographed in a bikini the way magazines do it, for the model who needs swim in her book and for the creator who needs a month of feed. I plan it around the sun, direct every pose and quote it by looks and location.

This page is for people. If you have a swim label and a collection to shoot, the campaign and lookbook work is on swimwear for brands.

Beach, pool or boat

Beach. The classic. We shoot in the first or the last hour of sun, when skin looks its best and the water has color.
Pool. Your building, your house or a rental. Private, controllable, and a changing room three steps away.
Boat. If you have access to one, the bow of a boat is the best set in Florida. See the fashion work for how that looks.

II.

Why the hour matters

Swimwear lives or dies on the light. At noon the Florida sun comes straight down: hard shadows under the eyes, flat color on the fabric. In the first and last hours of the day it comes from the side, wraps the body and keeps the colors of the suit true. So we pick the hour first and everything else after, and we keep a shaded backup ready.

III.

What to bring

Three or four suits that fit today: one solid, one print, one that takes a risk
A layer for movement: open shirt, sarong, oversized linen
A hat or sunglasses, used for two frames and then gone
Body oil or lotion, a towel, flat sandals for walking between spots

IV.

Direction, not posing

Nobody looks good standing still in a bikini. I keep you moving: walking, turning, hands in the hair, weight on one hip, and I shoot through it. You see the camera early. The frames you worried about are usually the ones you end up choosing.

What you get

A planning call: looks, location and the hour
A shoot directed start to finish
Help checking that the pool, building or rental allows photography
Edited images in a private online gallery, with retouching on your selects
Vertical frames cut for social, if you need them
Hair and makeup available as an add-on

VI. — Before you book

4 questions.

How much is a swimwear photoshoot in Palm Beach?

It is quoted, not listed, because it changes with the number of looks, how many people are in front of the camera, the location and how you plan to use the images. Send me those four things through the contact form and you get a number the same day, with no sales call.

What time of day do you shoot swimwear?

The first hour after sunrise or the last hour before sunset. That side light is what makes skin and fabric look the way they do in campaigns. If a morning or evening does not work for you, a shaded pool or a covered terrace gives soft light in the middle of the day.

I am not a model. Can I book this?

Yes. Most of the direction I give is for women who have never done a shoot: where the weight goes, what the hands do, where to look. You do not need to know your angles. That is my part. You can also bring a friend, and you can stop at any time.

Can I use the photos on my social media?

Yes, your own pages are what these shoots are for. If you plan to sell the images or use them to advertise a product, tell me before the shoot so the right license is written into the agreement you sign. Creators have their own packages on the content creator page.
