It's been several weeks since I've been able to take portraits of someone just for the sake of being creative, but yesterday a friend and I had some free time to walk around my neighborhood and snap a couple of portraits by this big magnolia tree.
Lit using natural light and a reflector. Canon 5D MKIII, Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 lens. Typically I wouldn't shoot wide open for a client, but I felt that softer was better for these.
#2&3 for me Daniel. #2 is extremely well done. I usually do not enjoy women coloring their hair in psychedlic colors but it works for this lovely young woman!

This series has a "fairy tale" feel for me. I can smell the fragrance in the Spring air. Love the soft light in the first photo as well as your expert use of depth of field to draw our eye to her face. Thinking commercially, perfect scenes for a perfume advertisement.

Her hair ended up photographing a lot better than I thought it would.

Thank you so much Steve. I'd love to photograph a high end fragrance campaign at least once in my lifetime, but hopefully a few times if I can lol.
