Studio Shoot

For this shoot, I followed a tutorial for constant lighting. I also added some wind to add drama to her hair. I learned how to set up lights correctly. I also learned that it's harder than it looks. It took me a while to get the lights perfectly set up, and I had to take tons of shots before I finally got one that her hair looked decent in.

Quote Final

"I always wanted to get married with just candles! I think candlelight is the most beautiful light there is and there's something very spiritual about it." -Nicole Kidman 

I took this quote very literal. She wants to get married with candles, so I used candles and wedding rings in my images. In one of them I used a white lace dress to symbolize a wedding dress.

Gratitude

 I am thankful for the beauty of nature. I increased the contrast on this image and increased the saturation of orange/yellow colors to make the butterfly stand out.

 I am thankful for family. I increased the saturation of blue in the photo and added a slight black vignette so that the mom and daughter pop out.

 I am thankful for Starbucks coffee. I increased the saturation of red to make the photo have a warmer and more Autumny vibe.

I am thankful for the beach. I didn't do much to edit this picture because I felt that it looked pretty nice already. However, I did clone stamp out a boat on the horizon because it was distracting.
