Of Light and Love

    Brigette. Expecting mother and forest elf.

    Photographed last night in a scene that was colder than this image would suggest.

    Henna makeup: Paco Gréau
    Face makeup: Nicole Garbutt

    Lighting info: the backlight is a burst of warm sunlight filtering through the trees, while Brigette's front was light by a single Elinchrom studio head modified by a Rotalux softbox, in fairly close to her left). IS) 100, F/4.5, 1/40-second exposure. Canon F/2.8 24-70MM lens @ 70MM.

      Great photo. I love how relaxed and natural the model is, how great the natural backlight on her hair is, and the henna art is amazing. Last but not least is how beautiful the forest background is, and how wonderfully composed the photo is.
