Can Your Model Pose Under Any Circumstance? Beauty Shoot While Dune Bashing

Photographers, how good are the models you work with at posing? Are they confident enough to declare they can pose under any circumstance? Model Ginevra believes she is capable of doing just that, so professional photographer Luca Lombardi decided to put her claim to the test.

Luca recently started a series of testing other people doing some unusual task while riding in the passenger seat for some of his adventures in dune bashing. For those of you who are not familiar with what dune bashing is, you can guess from the name, but it's a form of off-roading on sand dunes. For this episode in the series, Ginevra joins Luca to see if she can pose for the camera while Luca hits the dunes.

Luca used the Canon 5D Mark III with a 50mm F/1.8 lens attached to magic arm and suction cups to the windshield for this test. To complete the in-car studio, the set-up includes a pair of Profoto B2 strobes; one in the backseat camera right and one mounted up front camera left.

Throughout the ride, Ginevra strikes a few poses for the camera, and she is caught off guard a few times making some interesting photos. I found this shoot quite fun and over all she was able to nail some poses for the photos. Luca declares the challenger as the winner and I agree as well. She did a pretty good job considering the situation she was put under, do you agree?
