Taylor #3


Today’s photo was taken at the same location as Tuesday’s photo.  Here I wanted to bring more of the environment into the scene and make it appear as if Taylor had just finished a race.
I do like how the shadows in the background seem to mirror her mood.
Enjoy.
Camera settings:  Nikon D3x on a tripod, Nikon 85mm f/1.4 at ISO 100, f/4 at 1/250th of a second with two Elinchrom Quadra flashes—one positioned in front of her and the other behind her as a hair light.
Post Processing:  
Lightroom 4—increased clarity and vibrance and did some basic dodging and burning various parts of the photo.
Photoshop CS5—ran nik Color Efex Pro glamour glow filter.

  1. I would call this one "quiet moment." She seems to be in her own world.

  2. I agree with Ted. You get the idea that you just happened upon Taylor in a reflective moment after a race. Your lighting is not even slightly noticeable. Good job.
