The first shoot in a very warm Budapest was Buda Castle, we got there nice and early in the hope to beat the crowds. This didn't really work as it soon got very busy. As we wondered around the castle we manged to find some nice stops of early morning light inbetween the hordes. Once we finished off at the castle we head slowly into the city center for some street photography and that was it for the first day.

​

Day 2, this was the main day. I booked out the roof top of picture pool studios on the outskirts of the city, this was simple one of the best studio spaces i have ever booked. The studio space was great and Martin (the owner i think) was super helpful and nothing was an issue or a problem on the day. The only real issue was just how hot it was on the rooftop on the morning, its was over 30 degress for most of the shoot. For this shoot i brought a long my Leica SL2-S a 50mm lens and a 75mm lens. With the space on the roof and aiming to get some nice compressed shots the 75mm got most of the use and i'am very happy with the performance in this lens. But onto the shoot. 

​

Picture pool studios are based about a 15 minute drive from the centre of Budapest in an industrial area of the city, the stuido is based on the top top floor of an old factory building and consists of a large studio space and also a large roof top space, which is what we where there for. Cassandra being a pro dancer that was going to be the main focus of the shoot. The roof top is about 3000 square, so a very large space to play with.
