Brooke in the hay
August 13th, 2008
Here’s another shot of Brooke on the stack of hay bales we saw along the way to the Badlands. We saw a lot of these stacks of large bales and I knew there were some photos there if we found the right one. We were lucky that when we found a stack that we could use, it was old bales with this darker color, which worked very well as a background for Brooke’s skin tones. It was also far enough from the road, yet still accessible and oriented in the right way so that we could shoot there without causing wrecks on the highway. And the light was working the way I wanted it as well. All the pieces just fell into place.
Of course, Brooke did her usual fantastic job of posing, working her pose to be a perfect counterpoint to her surroundings. The tones, the textures, the colors…it all just came together here just as I wanted it. Sometimes things work out.
