When photographing a fashion model in Los Angeles, the photographer must understand lighting and posing, know how to work fast as stylists work through various looks, and be able to work around any situation. For this image, created just before the Nicole Roberts Collection invitation-only trunk show at Delilah in West Hollywood, I used diffusion on my strobes to ensure the softest possible light. A high angle helped highlight the model's cheekbones, and expert retouching helped polish the final image.
