Well, this is at the Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth but it was taken last fall. I was just playing around with the oil painting filter in PS. I'll have to print one of these to see if I like it as well in print as I do on the screen.
Hello Lynne, thank you for your challenge and sorry that it took me so long to find something for you. I had to think about it a while longer. I love your portraits, they are all excellent captures with the perfect lighting. So I thought about how your portraits would look like when you are forced to use only one lightsource - e.g. the light you get from a window, an open door (when your model is in a darker room) or even an i-pad used as soft box. When using only one window you can try different constellations - shooting wiht the light or against it, using small or big windows, using the window/door/etc only as lightsource or telling a story with it - there are just so many possibilities. I hope you have fun with it and I am really excited to see your results.
