Changing clothes on outdoor shoots?

[movingex]

This is a question primarily for Sr shooters.

I am looking to do some outdoor seniors and I've often wondered how you guys deal with the models changing clothes on outside location shoots.


Thanks

I use a smaller version of THIS. If I had shopped around a little more, I would have purchased something similar to this. The sides can also be used as reflectors.

That's awesome!

Guys usually change outdoors behind a tree or brush. I have a Yukon XL and have some girls change in there. My Sr shoots are usually pretty casual, so there is not a lot of fancy clothes changes. Those are usually shot in the studio.

open the door on the car and put a sheet up or normally i find a place with a bathroom close by.

i have a navigator. tinted windows. that usually works!

i have thought about gettign one of those litlte booths though... except that i look like a big enough dork trying to re-fold up my reflector sometimes... i can only imagine how insane i would look trying to get that booth thing all compacted back to its original size.

Thats why I take my wife with me...she can fold those things like its nothing. I have a hard time with my windshield shades.

thanks for posting the link....i was going to get one like it but it did not have the reflector sides but this is alot better.

i don't USE the windshield thing because i can never get it refolded backinto the small size that should supposedly fit in teh pocket of the backseat!!!!!

Kasey - I don't use'em either as they always seem to get _bigger_ when folded<vbg> Obviously I'm rather "folding-challenged"<g>

That foldable-change-reflector looks pretty nice though and for $65 on sale it's a good price too.

Best regards,

That's a cool system! I was just thinking about this while I was talking to someone about shooting some location pic's around the city. The thought of having her change in bathrooms downtown just didn't seem appealing. This would be perfect...

I have two large hula hoops sewn into each end of a seven foot high tube of opaque fabric.

Put the hoops on the ground, model steps in, someone picks up one of the hoops and holds it up, model changes.

My seniors don't have a problem changing in the car or side of it. They are use to changing in public from sports and such.

For those who are a little shy.......and there is no rest room...... I till them to wear a small tank top and biker shorts under their clothes so when they change they not showing off the bra and panties.
