Katie: Sunset Smile

View larger

Katie is a chemical engineer at a major phamaceutical company. She says she has to wear *two* containment suits to keep away the nasty stuff she works with; I think it just takes that much to hold back her smile.

Busy day, so I've only processed this picture of the bunch so far -- the last we took.

Utata poses: We were shooting a block and a half away when I saw the sun set behind these trees. I had us run over here and positioned her so II could use the setting sun as a giant hairlight.

Taken in: Grant's Tomb, where someone or other is buried [?]

Shadowgolem says:

Those look like expensive teeth! Your 85mm f1.4 work continues to make me crave one of those! Of course I'll get one and then realize that you are just as bad a** photographer and the lens makes little difference. Mmmm class 10,000 lab. Fun!

CaliBreton says:

Wow, the DOF is pretty shallow ... Good risk, good rewards. I rarely venture under f5.6 on my 85mm 1.8 because I am so afraid of getting "sharp nose soft eyes".

Nyc will says:

I really enjoy your portrait work. I really like the brokeh. I really wish I can take photographs like you. I guess all it comes to is a bit of talent and practice. =)

Can't wait to see your next set.

For most people, there are two ways of getting bloody rich : win the euromillion, or seeing a smile like this everymorning when you wake up ;-)
That kinda smile changes the color of your days !!!

Quite aside from Katie's obvious beauty this is a really great candid Ryan, and the bokeh really adds a pleasing dimension to counterpoint the main subject matter in the frame. Great stuff.
