I love the creativity in this image! I would recommend darkening the eyebrow to add more dimension to the photo. :D

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the backyard of my college house. I was in a creative mood, photoshopping all day and my friend ( featured in this photo) popped by. Right away I asked if I could paint her face and she gave me a look, but agreed after a laugh, and we got to work!

Time

Late afternoon.

Lighting

Some good old fashioned daylight. In the shade to give the perfect look.

Equipment

Nikon D700

Inspiration

I was just feeling creative that day and had a wonderful friend willing to play dress up!

Editing

Yes, this has been retouched to soften the face, accentuate the lips and bring a pop to the overall look.

In my camera bag

My camera, two lenses and a shammy.

Feedback

Focus on the eyes! The eyes are the key to the soul. Capture that.
