This is a continuation of my 4 Seasons series
i had done the winter photo and now the SPRING..
Model is a bride to be this year, Aurielle is to going to marry her high school sweet heart, who happens to be pitching for the L.A. Dodger (MLB), and i was lucky enough to be their wedding photographer
with Aurielle's stunning beauty it was a natural choice to use her for the Spring photo.
the hardest part was coming up with my own original concept and not to copy anybody else's..
i also called on my good friend Ryan O Hicks for support to come out if there were any thing he can help with he would gladly help. (Thanks Ryan..!)
this shot was some what complex in concept.
i wanted motion in all my 4 Season Series Shots and this was the challenge.
Create something beautiful, something with motion, do it not in a studio, and in a place where all photogs probably started out in.. a parking garage..
Being this was such a large production, we had Mother, Father, Brother and GF helping.
Timing was the challenge, getting every body on sycn including me.. it took about 12 shots to get the job done.
lighting was a 4 light set up.

1. Key light was AB 1600 @ 1/3 power with PLM 64 as a light mod
2. 2 Speedlights 580 EXII at full power as side kicker each in a shoot thru umbrella
3. one 550 EX in a 28 inch westcott with green gel for the wall background.
Model and Beth (mother) went to flower store 2 hours before to pick out the colors and then from there were created the outfit and lipstick followed.
set up shot is here credit to Ryan Hicks
set video is here credit to Ryan Hicks Set Up Video
thanks goes out to Aurielle, Mother, Father, Brother, GF, and Ryan.. i could not have done this with out your help and multiple takes..

Great shot. I find the scarf confusing though. I associate a scarf mostly with fall or winter not spring.

you know if it was a wool or thick scarf.. then yes.. winter or fall.. but women wear sweaters in the middle of the summer too.. light weight sweaters as explained by my wife..

so here is a light weight spring like scarf..

So you'll shoot your summer photo in a sweater?

Spring is about birth and rebirth, about being fresh and renewed. To me a scarf screams need to keep warm, covered up, or closed off...

To each his own.

I have and I don't see many women wearing scarves except in the winter around here. I should say we since I asked my wife to make sure I just wasn't suffering tunnel vision.

Like I said to each his own. You see fashion and I see a loose beauty shot with a distracting scarf. It's subjective...

Respectfully agreeing with you that it is subjective art No problem...
