“Yes Virginia this is a good spot for a portrait.” Virginia was in on Monday for her session. It was a morning session so I try to stay on the west side of the downtown buildings and catch the early morning light bouncing off the buildings across the street. This image is proof that it doesn’t take much to create a nice background for a portrait. Virginia is sitting at a small picnic table just off the sidewalk next to the restaurant on the corner of Third Street and Broadway. There is a utility box to her right out of camera view and there was lots of trash floating around. The sun in the east hilighted her hair just right, a little fill light and a great smile. Bingo!
