Ghetto

Shot from the March 30 workshop. Wanted this to look like a very grungy basketball scene. Very important when setting up a shot that the model's mood suits the environment being developed. Also when photographing an outdoors scene I favour throwing the background out of focas as I feel this adds to the soul of an image for some reason. Also when instructing at these workshops I place great passion into making sure the model looks aesthetically her best. Hence in this shot Natalie has good posture and is creating more curve by throwing her hip out and back. Added to this her concentration is very fixed and authentic in the direction she is looking. All too often model's look one way but have their minds coming back to the photographer's position. This greatly lessens the impact of the photo.
