This image of the Beachy Head Lighthouse was taken from a cliff's edge, looking east onto the lighthouse and English Channel. You can reach this location by driving and then parking at a pull off (50.737235, 0.220214) alongside Beachy Head Rd. You can also park at Shooters Bottom Car Park (50.738974, 0.231452) and then walk west on Beach Head Rd to the GPS coordinates.
For the positioning of your model, they'll need to stand on the cliff just east of the cliff you'll stand on. I recommend walking to the GPS coordinates with your model and then together, plan on where they'll stand on the cliff ahead.
Please be aware that the cliffs are unstable and have been known to erode often — especially during strong winds and heavy rainfall. For safety, always stay away from the edge of the cliff and tell your model to do the same on the other cliff.
