Agnes

August 6, 2009

Elder Agnes Hardy has been wanting portraits for awhile now and we finally got a chance yesterday. Her regalia is gorgeous and we had a lot of fun. We took advantage of the cloud cover which provided some really great soft light.

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.
