Katie at the Library July 14, 2011 Photograph by Tom Atwood |
This portrait of Katie Speicher creates the illusion of having been taken in a studio, when it was really shot outside the Edwardsville Public Library near the fountain. What appear to be studio lights are really reflections of sunlight in the fountain. Harsh sunlight is rarely good for portraits. And while it is almost impossible to fight the sun, in this case, Katie literally turned her back on it, and that made all the difference.
Shutter: 1/200; Aperture: f/2.2; ISO: 100; Focal length: 35 mm
