Dahlia on the slopes - BTS, gear, Lightroom preset, location
🕑 Added 2025-01-08 09:54:39 +0000 UTCDahlia responded to my Instagram ad looking for models in Tyrol for this specific shoot. She is into bimbofication (look that up on the account of your own mental health) so she was perfect for this theme.
I travelled to her location, we grabbed the ski gear and travelled to the top of the mountain where we found a secluded place next to the slopes. Getting there wasn't easy, Dahlia recently moved to Austria from Ukraine and started to learn to ski not so long ago, but we made it. Of course we had to be fast, the weather was good, but still below 0 so she was freezing. We also made some pictures on the way down in the gondola, but I only brought back a couple of pictures from that, the light wasn't so good.
Props
I ordered this used overall from Vinted (it came from Romania) and it was pretty much in perfect condition. A bit too big for Dahlia, but we used some clamps to tighten it around her waist.
We ordered the earrings and outfit under the overall from Shein. It really wasn't easy to find stuff in this style and it was still not entirely perfect. We used a swimming dress with some leggings to recreate the 80s aerobic outfit, the only issue was that it didn't have a thong style in the back like I imagined.
The ski, boots, glasses and other props were from a ski shop where she had a friend working, so luckily that was free.
Other than that we had to buy day passes for the slopes, so it wasn't exactly a cheap shoot!
Retouch
I usually don't do heavy retouching but since Dahlia had some work done quite recently, we agreed to remove the marks in Photoshop.

It's a huge ski arena, nothing particularly special about it, all places are beautiful in Tyrol.
