Barn Girl
August 30th, 2010
It’s not that good photos can’t be taken in bright sunlight. It’s just that bright sunlight seems to be the only light I’ve been able to work with this summer. That was the light the day I shot Kelsey at my friend’s farm a few weeks ago. If there had been an overcast that day I would have been able to do a lot more with this barn and Kelsey. But the bright sun limited my options. Of course, I’m still pretty pleased with the results from that day. How could I go wrong with such a great model?
I woke up this morning in my condo in Florida to bright blue skys. But clouds seem to be building in throughout the day, giving at least alternating bright sun and “cloudy bright” conditions. I can work with that. And the daily thunderstorms offer other options. Claudine arrives from Chicago today, so the shooting will soon begin. She’s such a great model the nature of the light won’t matter, we’ll make art.
