prom shoot..a little different

[chalkie7]

I wanted to do something a little different as well as the normal type of shots on this session. I was quite pleased with the results and the client loved them, so thought I would share one of the images with you good folks.

I bet she loved this great shot nicely composed awww you can she is a lil embaressed but she will be thrilled with the results

Wow, I really like this shot and the composition and color work so well. Her smile indicates she is probably a little shy.

[chalkie7]

Bless her...she was INCREDIBLY shy! She'd only recently had her braces removed after nearly 2 years and for such a pretty young girl had so little confidence.

She looks like a real princess in that setting. terrific idea and you captured her personality too.

May I ask what lighting you used?

Magnificent shot. It works so well... the dark red agains the "old castle" kinda wall. The spot light from above really puts the emphasis on a beautiful young lady. xx

'Princess in the Castle' is sort of what I had in mind...but with the piano (no idea why really!).

As for lighting, I used a small softbox high up in front of the model pointing down (positioned around 8-10 feet away), plus a larger softbox pointed into the left-hand wall, so as to pick out some detail but not completely illuminate the background.

Well... I was asking myself "why the piano" at first.. but .. after looking at the image a few times now I think that without it the whole image would be slightly unbalanced. It needed something in the corner otherwise the girl would have seemed to central and to lost in a big room. Or am I talking rubbish now ??? xx

Very nicely done Chalkie. I really like the pose, lighting, and composition. Great work!
