Location
The photo Sidewalk daydreaming was taken in the Old Town district of Helena, Alabama, a town approximately 20 miles south of Birmingham.Time
the photograph was taken in late evening, sunset was probably an hour and a half awayLighting
a good use of sunlight streaming through the porch and a white wall behind Arrendy, plus a metal silver tin roof make for a good fillEquipment
Canon 5DMK II, my Canon 70-200 f2.8 lensInspiration
The Old Town district of Helena is a throwback to late 1800's early 1900's. Stores with wooden sidewalks and covered walkways. As we walked down one of the sidewalks, I noticed the light casting shadows from the railings, I then noticed that the end of the sidewalk framed some great Fall foliage. I had Arrendy sit in one of the chairs and took a few shots. I then asked her to close her eyes like she was daydreaming and a beautiful shot was createdEditing
The only thing done with the photo is color correction from AWB to Daylight.In my camera bag

Study the light, In Sidewalk Dreaming the sun was streaming through the walkway opening at about a 2 o clock position, Arrendy turns her face slightly towards the camera and the white wall behind her gives a little bounce light back into the photo for some separation. When posing working and communicating with your model is important.
