I hope you are blessed with a heart like a wildflower.
Strong enough to rise again after being trampled upon,
tough enough to weather the worse of the summer storms,
and able to grow and flourish even in the most broken places.

Behind The Lens

Location

Monday 12. February 2018 when the Danish children had winter holiday. We took this portrait on a deserted farm 5 minutes from where we live. It was cold cold for my little darling, to stand there in the cold with such a "little" summer dress on. But there was a incredibly captivating evening light. And we used that of course. My daughter Malou was about to age 11 when we took these pictures. We had borrowed the dress from Margrethe Designs in Denmark. (Marion Akrobath Olesen)

Time

At sunset (The golden hour) 06:18 pm

Lighting

Perfect evening light for mood portraits.

Equipment

I have been using my Canon EOS 6D with 90mm lens .

Inspiration

I am very inspired by adventure, detail and beauty. And I would like to make a portrait which tells a story in the finest way. As a model, Malou tells something/a story with her body language. That way her face turns obliquely, (her facial expressions - witch is always very important) and the way she put her hands over her chest. I spent unreasonably long time to prepare her hair and the beads/ pearls on her eyebrows. I do not have the world's greatest patience when I get ready for a photo shoot. (I arranged her hair and eyebrows myself) I had found inspiration from Pinterest. I think it took about 1 hour. Like any other artist you just want to go out of the door and to the essence. lol. But over the years, I have learned; how important it is to be thorough. I always think about that. It is so important. If you are thorough, does it benefit one in every aspect of life.

Editing

Yes, I have enchanted the colors.

different lenses and my beloved reflector screen
