Is 50 to 55 F too cold to shoot?
I have a propane tank heater that attaches to the top of tank, comes in two different Btu ratings and it along with a robe of jacket works wonders on cool day. depending on where you shoot it may or may not be allowable under fire regulations and not for indoor use.

(1) being a model is not easy (2) there is a Russian saying "Art Requires Sacrifice" and the last time I check, all of them do this for free. (not implying anything by that -- just giving an example for adoration and respecting their sacrifices).

Nov 11 21 05:19 pm Link In general if the model is nude, in underwear or swimwear, yes. I have had a number of new models want to do snow and ice shoots or who say they can work in 50 degree weather. Yes they can last 10-15 minutes. However the problem is getting them warm again on location. If there is a car nearby with the heat blasting, yes they will warm up. Just putting on warm insulated clothes will not quickly warm them up after their body and extremities become cold. There are some models who I have been able to work with for longer productive shoots at 50 degrees or even colder. Those are the models who acknowledge and accept that they are going to be really cold and uncomfortable. It does not work with the male and female models with a macho swagger “I don’t mind the cold” “I can take it” “I like the cold.” Nov 17 21 01:52 pm Link Not at all. Check with your model on her comfort level outdoors. I've done winter snow shoots and just having big puffy boots and a thick warm robe helps. Keep extra robe ,towels, etc. in a big soft insulated container with lots of body or hand warmies inside of it. Warm thermos of beverages too. And if lucky to do it in a backyard of snow with a hot tub, you're in for plenty of warming time between poses and pics. A brisk wind kills more shoots than the actual temperature.
