Spent two weeks in California on vacation seeing some friends. Last minute ended up taking a 14 hour train from San Diego up to Monterey to see one of my favorite people in the whole world. We had some shoots scheduled down south but stuff came up and she wasn't able to make it down, so we hung out for a weekend up there. Didn't really do any serious shooting, but we wandered out one night to fisherman's wharf and I managed to get this. AF wasn't available because it was super dark, with the light being provided by a single speedlite inside a square softbox. Used a phone to light up her face to get focus, and I just had her move her head back and forth, lol.
Anyway, a slight variation of this is her current profile picture on facebook, with tons of likes, but honestly this one is my favorite. It's sharper and more of her face is in focus compared to the other one, and she seems a tad more smiley. Anyway, this is probably my favorite photo ever, and I think it really captures her vibrant personality and carefree attitude. Just thought I would share.
