My beautiful, creative, daring, and funny best friend came up with the "school portraits after a week in Cancun" theme when I asked to take some portraits of her. She always commits to an idea even when she may not be shown in a flattering light, and thats one of the many things I admire about her.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in my living room. I pushed all of the furniture out of the way in order to have room for a mini studio shoot.

Time

In the afternoon. I closed the blinds to block out any natural light.

Lighting

I wanted to recreate the traditional "school picture day" look.

Equipment

Sony a7 iii

Inspiration

This look is inspired by awkward 'first day back from summer vacation" school photos.

Editing

Nothing particularly crazy. Just some light touch ups on the skin, and playing around with the colors and contrast a bit.

In my camera bag

My speed light, 85mm

Feedback

Just have fun!
