At the flowering cherrys

The model asked me to shoot in a dress with a lot of flower ornaments, because she could borrow that dress from a friendly designer. The pics should be made as reference material for both.

Because of the flowers on the dress, i decided to shoot on a location with a lot of flowers too. There is an avenue with a lot of great flowering cherrys not far from my home, blooming 1-2 weeks every year, that fits perfect for my idea.

Unfortunately something went wrong in organization with the dress, so that it wasn't there in the week the trees were blooming. But we decided to use the chance shooting in an alternative dress.

But the flowers were on the top of the trees - so we had to go there too.
The model was standing on a 4 meters high ladder. I stood on one of the trees, holding a 4 meters high tripod with the camera at the end between the branches. With the other hand I controlled the camera via tablet connected with usb cable.
It was exhausting, but worked :)
