When I was thinking about my list of the worst locations I’ve shot, for some reason, I skipped over the sewage treatment plant I shot at. I could make a joke about having blocked this out of my mind, but the truth is that it wasn’t that big of a deal. In this photo, the model is standing about 50 feet from acres upon acres of raw sewage (just to the left of the pillars) but, because the wind was blowing in the right direction (away from us), we never really smelled much. However, that said, when compiling a list of the worst shooting locations you’ve ever had, you automatically put the sewage treatment plant atop the list.

Also worth noting: this model called me up the day before the shoot and told me that her grandmother had passed away. She paused and then asked if we could bump the start time of the shoot back an hour so she could attend the wake.  In order to make it to the location in time to get the setting sun, she came straight from the funeral home with her sister and brother-in-law… who were still in their black funeral finest.  Now *that* is professionalism.
