I took this shot because i liked the surroundings behind her. i felt that it was a good type of background, since it wasnt too busy. i tried to not make the background the focal point. i placed my model to the right because i was at a different angle than straight on, so the model had to slightly turn towards me. the light was coming from the side i made her face, as you can somewhat tell, the right side gets to be darker, because of where the light is shining from. all i used was outdoor lighting, and then just edited it a little bit on photoshot. i decided to make the picture black & white, because the original photo had too many colors in the background which kind of made it a little distracting. so i came to this final piece of a black & white photo.
