Flower Child

Because I'm feeling generous, I'll post another image tonight. Don't say I never give you guys anything (assuming I have more than one person reading this. Drop me a line, maybe?).

Anyways, this was my first scheduled shoot in many weeks. In fact, I scheduled it waaaay back in March, I think. And as you may have gathered, Christine here is a maker of fine floral arrangements. For a wedding, in this case, and I think that's all she does, actually, though I didn't think to clarify that matter. Oh well.

This was one of those times where I had an idea in mind of what I wanted, and this came out pretty close. Worth noting is that if you look closely, you can see the corner of a painting in the left corner. For some reason I thought it very important to have that in the shot, but found that a tighter crop made the image a bit better. Thought that counts, right?

I learned that flowers have personality, and that talking to them during the process is not such a bad thing. Makes me feel better about yelling at office equipment, and my camera on occasion.

The second shot here is up because it seemed like the kind of time when a shot of hands would be worth having.
