Melanie, Playa del Carmen, Mexico

I found the hardest part of any swimsuit shoot to be the end of the morning shoot. If you've had a good morning, you have all this adrenaline going , but the light just keeps getting worse. Everyone is hungry and getting tired, but by 8:30, you're all also hitting on all cylinders, and everyone on the crew feels that. This was the last shot of a really strong morning and with the simple help of a gold reflector, we called it a day.
