In August, the Three Amigos (Steve,
Doug and I) ventured to beaches on Galveston Island to photograph Nicole who is
a real trooper. The idea that
Steve and I originally had for the shoot was to rip-off a photograph that Joe McNally
did of a female saxophone player in the surf at sunset. You can see the video here.
Today’s photo was taken before the
sun began to set. Here, I wanted
Nicole to look like she was walking along the beach. I purposely angled my camera to make Nicole look more
dynamic and to add tension to the photograph (I believe that when the viewer
sees something that does not compute—the horizon-line at angle—the viewer has a
little tension). My instructions
to Nicole was to look directly at me with attitude. She pulled it off—in spades!
Enjoy.
