Weather conditions
Check the weather forecast before the shoot and be prepared for any conditions that may affect the shoot, such as rain, strong winds, or extreme heat. If the weather conditions are not favorable, consider rescheduling the shoot.
Tides and currents
Be aware of the tide schedule and current conditions, especially if you plan to shoot near the water. Stay a safe distance away from the water and avoid shooting in areas where the tide or current is strong.
Sunburn and dehydration
The beach can be hot and sunny, so make sure to protect yourself from sunburn by wearing sunscreen, a hat, and protective clothing. Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated during the shoot.
Permits and restrictions
Check with the local authorities to see if any permits or permissions are needed for the shoot. Some beaches may have restrictions on photography, so be sure to follow any rules or regulations.
Sand and equipment
The sand can get everywhere, so be careful when changing lenses or equipment to avoid getting sand in your camera. Bring a clean cloth to wipe down any equipment that gets sandy.
Beach crowds
The beach can be a popular spot, especially during peak season, so be aware of any crowds or people in the background of your shots. Consider shooting during less busy times or choosing a less popular location for your shoot.
