For The Love Of a Princess (Week 4) Explored

    Technically it's my week 4 in my 52, but I've missed about 3 weeks out inbetween. Really busy start to the New Year, but settling down no thankfully! Well this week, I totally had a different image in mind. I really wanted the bed to be in a forest with a similar effect and lighting, but I loved the pinky tones that came out with when I messed about with the curves. I did actually cheat a little and use one of my other backgrounds I had photographed last year (you will find the photo on my photostream!!) and it all came together to give me this! I have all sorts of images in my mind, but the majority of the time, they never end up how I imagined them! Sos if you feel it's abit on the same theme as the other image, but I'm liking it nevertheless.

    Thought I would go on the theme of love and all that stuff being as though it's valatines day next week! I should of maybe used cupid rather than a dove, but there you go!

    Named after a song that I love and (hopefully) would have in the background on my wedding day, should I ever get the chance :-)

    Model: Me! Melissa Downhill
    Inspired by photos from Tim Walker and other greats!

      Atmosphere and charm are merged into this magnificent shot. The model as subject is well defined and emphasized by the choice of focus, composition and light.
