Desert Fashion Shoot at Windy Point


My wife and I had lunch in Palm Springs with photographer Tom Brewster the other day. After lunch we drove out to Windy Point, which Tom had told us had small sand dunes and a nice view of the electric generating windmills. I wanted to shoot some dramatic high-fashion shots on sand dunes, and I was too lazy to drive 20 miles out to Bermuda Dunes.

Fortunately Windy Point was terrific. Not only were we completely alone - since weekdays aren't popular for off-road enthusiasts, but the temperature was pleasant too. In fact it was only 80 degrees in the middle of July! But naturally we got sand blasted, which is to be expected.

I am very excited by these dynamic fashion photos. There's nothing like having bright colors and high wind to help create a compelling fashion photo.
