As with the previous Bikini Revolution events, this was held at the modern yet rustic and very chic L2 Lounge in Georgetown DC. Beautiful ladies in high fashion swimwear lounged and walked around mingling with guests and posed for photographs. In this semblance of paradise, there is a reality of the cause that this event benefits which is called Becky's Fund. It is an organization that combats domestic violence and provides support for victims and their families. Proceeds from the donations at the door and swimsuit sales will benefit this worthy cause. Those who donated at the door received raffle tickets for prizes.
The models in this fashion presentation and show were mostly women who have competed in pageants, and they are used to being seen in a bikini when competing. Since the models were already in their outfits, there wasn't much emphasis placed on the fashion show portion. In lighting the event and for the show, the venue is normally dark with accents of mood lighting around. I decided to set up two speedlight flashes on light stands in the main area and triggered them with my Flex TT5 and Pocket Wizard Plus II Tranceivers. Looking back on the photos, I probably should have increased my shutter speed a bit to make sharper captures, but I also wanted to allow the lighting to brighten up the area enough to be able to show off the swimsuits.
Thank you to the Host Committee for helping to make this event happen.
