Melting those Winter Blues

It was a dreary New York day back in December when the 20/20 team piled into a penthouse studio space with summer and sun on our minds. The task ahead involved shooting three fresh and hip models, clad in heat-stroked sunwear and sizzling swimsuits. Our photographer crafted a fiery lighting strategy with dozens of hot flashes to produce a palpable energy of riotous fun on set.  We all quickly forgot about the dismal weather outside as the studio was transformed into a summery retreat complete with iphone DJ-ed tunes, bursts of bright colors, tanned skin and of course sweltering sunwear.
