Brooke || Canon 40D/EF28-135@50 | 1/1000s | f11 | ISO100 | Handheld
My cousin Brooke was brave enough to ask me if I’d do her senior pictures. I was a little anxious, but I had a great time, and Brooke was a great sport.
This is one that I was pleased with. I saw an album cover for Adele’s album 19 and thought it would be neat if I could do something like that. So using my trusty 580EX II, and ST-E2, I took a couple dozen pictures moving the flash and trying a shot (there is certainly something to be said about studio lights). The light was really harsh, so I used some gausian blur in Photoshop to soften things up a bit.

I have to say, I love Adele (and her album cover) and I love Brooke, so I can’t be counted as unbiased, but I think this is an excellent photo. You captured a moment of what looks like peaceful reflection on what has already happened in Brooke’s life and all that is to come. Great work!
This is beautiful Ryan! I can’t believe how grown up she looks. You do great work (people comment on our family photos all the time)!! If you have a little tag or something, I would love to post it to our blog.
Here is where I cry:( tears of joy for the terrific job you did Ryan, sadness that my little brookelet is all grown up and happiness and nervousness that she is just beginning again:) (bet you didn’t know all that was in one picture) Great job as always Ryan!! Great idea, Looks Fabulous! Thanks
