Pretty Shadows, Nacogdoches TX
My beautiful wife in the shadows! Nini spent all morning getting a massage, and her hair and makeup done, but after lunch the sky darkened quickly. I had planned to shoot with natural light but brought my lighting equipment just in case. It started sprinkling and Nini was cold, but she toughed it out in her dress and we got a few good shots before packing up and heading home.
This is the widest portrait I have of Nini or anyone else for that matter. One of the goals I had for this shoot was to make some wide portraits. My portrait gallery is filled with too many closeups and head and shoulder shots. I have two major challenges when shooting wide-angle portraits. The first challenge is finding a wide enough background that is not cluttered or distracting. The second challenge is lighting the subject without getting lights and light stands in the frame. For this series I used a speedlite beauty dish on a light stand, which is just out of the frame to the right in this photo.
