I love working with young ladies, and creating portraits and while some would have cropped this image closer – i like the idea of the faces behind Ashley, kind of guardian angles watching down over her!
Ashley was one of the young ladies that helped us out last Sunday for the portrait workshop, I have many great images of Ashley – she was so easy to work with – this is more of an environmental portrait, using only natuaral light on the stairs!

Gorgeous selective focus. Beautiful portrait.
thanks Kala,
Great portrait!
thanks Mike, I have beeing trying to do more environmental portraits, and using interesting backgrounds as well as studying studio lighting!
Wow fantastic! I am glad you did not go for the closer crop..
thanks, am glad others like it as well, it isn’t one that would appeal to everyone! thanks for visiting the blog and leaving your kind words.
