When shooting on locations, I try not to bring atention to what we are doing. By this I do not bring a softbox of any sort. OI try to shoot natural light when possible. And if I need to shoot OCF, I have my MUA hold the flash for me.
We were shooting this at a very upscale resort in the Boca Raton area and initially I did not think that I was going to be able to save the photo becuase the flash was not strong enough.
Thanks to some PS magic, I feel I was able to give the models and the magazine a photo with eye catching results.
If you have models in an upscale location (with permission I presume) and a MUA why not bring the gear you need for the shoot? What's the not bring attention thing?
In this instnace it was certain restrictions placed on us by resort.
