Richard Murrian On Location
 |
On a recent summer day, my wife Nancy and I arrive in the dual cities of Trouville / Deauville on the Normandy coast of France, around noon. We spend the day getting settled in the Hotel, doing a little sightseeing, eating croissants & drinking cafe au lait. We’re waiting for the arrival of our models. This time it’s two gorgeous sisters from Czech. These girls are special creatures and are completely accepting of their beauty and unafraid to share it with the world.
They arrive and it’s like seeing old friends – we’ve worked with these two before and we’re all delighted to be in this lovely land together.
That afternoon, we take a 5 mile walk scouting beach locations for our dawn shoot the next day. After some serious searching, we settle on a stretch of beach in Deauville.
This is one of the crucial decisions in any photo shoot—without the appropriate backdrop, one that is infused with just the right light and colors, the series may not achieve it’s potential. So we generally spend a great deal of thought on choosing our locations—after the models, it’s the most important element of a shoot.
So after finding a wonderful spot, we head back to the hotel. It’s a long way, so when we finally arrive, everyone is famished. Nancy and I decide to take the girls out for a dinner of Moules et Frites (or mussels and fries), which were tres delicious, and then everyone goes back to the hotel to sleep.
We have an early day tomorrow and there is no time for any more sightseeing.
