Rolling with the BIG Dog - part 5 of 1 2 3 4 5

by Damian McGillicuddy Published 01/10/2013

As this is a slightly 'rule breaking' image and Grace is so svelte and beautiful with the right shape to her face it allows me as we flow through the imagery to 'broad light' her. The lighting remains virtually constant as we work through this set of images with just 'micro tweaks' to keep the shadow fall where I want it.

Of course the inclusion of the balloons just serve to juxtapose the edgy hardness of the feel of this image.

I must finish this piece by reiterating how good both Grace and Kimberly were and how pleasant and helpful Melissa at Cliche was.

'till next time
