Location
This photo is of my daughter. It was taken at our home just before our city celebration (annual parade) that goes right in front of our house. She was representing the "Fairy festival" for her work.Time
This was taken in the morning, in our front yard. It was still shady, no direct sunlight.Lighting
This time of day is my favorite. I love morning shots. Our yard is fully shaded this time of day so it allows for wonderful photos.Equipment
I used my Cannon Rebel Xti for this shot. Nothing more.Inspiration
I loved her costume, she had colored her hair specifically for this parade and the red against the green was perfect. She was going through a difficult time, but this particular morning she was so beautiful and happy I really wanted to capture that moment.Editing
None.In my camera bag
Camera, lenses, cleaning kit. portable tripod. flash, extra batteries and SD cards. I have learned to be prepared.Feedback
Portraits are my biggest struggle. I think trying to capture the person in as normal a setting as possible is the magical moment. I love the natural look rather than the posed look. It makes it more real. This was such a perfect moment between the two of us, I will be forever grateful I took this picture.
