We had four locations shortlisted, two of which would be suitable in case of rain. And rain it did, thoughout the whole shoot. We ended up shooting everything but the last of the five outfits in an alleyway off Rue des Capucins, in Les Pentes area of Croix-Rousse, Lyon:

The lighting effect was achieved with a beauty dish as the key light on the right, a snooted strobe from the left at shoulder level acting as a rim light and a third strobe reflecting off a large ripstop nylon white sheet to add some fill light to the legs.

Huge thanks to models Florence Ruaz, Cindy Defort, makeup artist Pauline Pergay and producer Gabi Carpenter.
