Gorgeous Dancers

August 3, 2009

We attended the Eagle Lake Traditional Powwow yesterday. It was a beautiful relaxing day.

Joy+I decided to try a portrait booth giving dancers a chance to have themselves photographed in their beautiful regalia. It was a learning experience for sure and I think we're going to do it again next year but we'll be a little more prepared. The biggest challenge was processing in daylight and despite being nestled under a gazebo, the glare coming off our computer screen was still pretty intense. Luckily Joy brought her black hoodie and I was able to scoot under it to get more accurate skin tones.

Our lighting kit gave us fantastic results. Our friends were able to set up a booth near this very skinny tree which came in handy. Next year we would love to set up right by the lake and use that as a backdrop instead. I think we'd have super results that way.

  1. I'm already looking forward to next year! We'll go early to get the best spot rain or shine!
