Tea House (Shadow 4)

I'm continuing my focus on shadows.  I recently went to a tea house here in Asheville, and the lighting was wonderful for shadows.  There will be two from this photo shoot.   This was where I was sitting, and I realized where the little bit of light was hitting me... so I asked my oldest son to sit there and tilt his head up, allowing the light to hit his eyes. 

Shadow Three

The shadows are what make this photograph for sure!  I was excited when I saw this plant, and once I realized it was back lit I got even more excited because I knew the shadows were going to be killer. 

Focusing on the Shadows for a while...2nd in a series

I think this photo is once again made by the shadows, I exposed it so the background would be dark and only the upper body and guitar would be lit. 

For the shadows.

I think the shadows are what make this photo interesting.  I love the flower but if it were not for the rest of the photo being dark, the photo would not be as effective. I also enjoy that the buttercup flower is tattered rather then in great condition...makes it more beautiful I think. 

What I would change...

This photo is definitely not my favorite photo from this shoot...but I do think it is cute.  I would love to get the guy to wear a different pair of shorts...something with just one color.
