I'm not sure how people in sweltering, humid places do it really, all the time. We are lucky here in Southern California near the beach, because it never really gets too hot or sticky. I recently spent a few days in Tampa shooting outdoor lifestyle work. The work itself wasn't toooo labor intensive as most it required very little, if any, extra lighting.
The issue was the hot, sticky weather. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time and met some amazing people, but I think I also lost about eight pounds in sweat equity! By the time you start your early to late days, it's already over 90 with 100% humidity. Good times. We spent most of every day outside, going place to place, shooting a wide variety of the neighborhoods lifestyle.
In the end, I think we got some fun work out of it and I was happy for it. I can handle most any situation on a shoot, get through it and keep a smile on my face for a few days, but arriving home here in San Diego makes you realize just what a great city we live in. Thanks to my clients at Newland Communites, the people of Mira Bay and Fishhawk and all the people that did the little things to make the shoot run efficiently and smoothly. I'd love to come back!
