Allison Senior ~ The Golden Willow

working on Allison's senior images..

this we taken in the trick last few mins of the day light..

it was hectic with the day light changing so fast..

we had to have a team for this one..

her sister was holding the back willow branches out of the way to allow the framing as such, plus her boy friends mom was helping with the hand positions and cutting off any willow low hanging that didn't allow the framing as such, and i had the rest of the team help hold lights, move lights and super fast cloth changes gave us this out put..

seriously we had only 5 mins from motocycle shot to transition to this shot that was 100 yards away.. plus an outfit change..

so the key point was this... Team Allison performed very well to get her this shot!.. thank you team allison..

all i did was just get the camera settings right and aimed the camera and we went on a 10 shot framing trial and error and finally got this one.. whewww.. that was fast and frantic.. haha

lighting was 2 lights..

1. Ab1600 for key with beauty dish at 1/8 power
2. AB1600 with yellow gel camera right for the fake sun light, and at 1/2 power about 12 feet
