I posted an ad on Craigs last week that I was interesting shooting a model that knew about crypto currency. I had a few strange replies then I got a message from Caren stating she was totally into the blockchain and has been researching trading crypto currencies.

Last night Caren and I drove up the PCH to Malibu and shot right after sunset. I wanted some dark and moody images for this shoot and the light is fantastic along the cliffs and caves of El Matador Beach. The first thing Caren said to me when she got in my SUV was, "So what's up with you and crypto currency? I really like Ethereum." I knew this was going to be a fun shoot.

I brought a beauty dish and grabbed a few dramatic shots before a giant wave almost took me out. NOTE: the hard line was a mistake but I liked it when I pulled it up in Adobe Lightroom

After a giant wave almost swept away my expensive light rig I decided to go all natural light. I was armed with a 50mm 1.2 and a 135mm 2.0

Since Caren is a commercial photographer she started to direct me, just a little. Asking me if I was getting full body shots and occasionally very specific as to what she wanted. That's a first for me LOL.

I grabbed a couple of images just guessing on the focus. There was hardly any light at this point.

The Profoto D1 light is super powerful and not capable of going to low power, so I turned the light away from her and just skimmed her with the edge of the light emitting from the dish.

I told Caren about Steemit and she's opening an account; I'll be sure to repost her introduction post once she's been approved by Steemit.

What a fun model/Steemian! Caren and I already talked about doing a few more shoots in the near future; probably the desert is next. Maybe a long exposure shoot since the full moon cycle is just around the corner.

This post was for Crypto Dummies where I am a contributor of content and photography. Stay tuned!

Thanks for all your support so I can continue to post amazing images and write articles.

If you won't stop posting pics like these I will never ever find some sleep again, dude! You will be the reason, why I have to go to the cosmetic surgery... - sonner than later! Keep on rocking... - by the way: nice guitar solo, the DM-boys looked very amazed!

I posted a guitar solo on here? I'll keep posting pics like this and yes you will probably need surgery

The guitar solo in the video as you were shooting the Death Metal Band... - wasn't it in Columbia...

Awww...I remember that. The guitar player handed me a seven string...wasn't sure what to do with that string so just ripped up on the other 6.

Great pictures! I love the lighting in the last few, that golden glow of sunset. She is a Crypto Babe :)

I know ...the lighting in Malibu is incredible.
