Festival Goer

The Davisson Brothers and I arrived early at the venue. The All Good Festival was just getting going for the day and a steady stream of folks were making their way along the path behind the stage before the music began. With the sun still fairly low in the sky I saw an opportunity to make some portraits. I found a fairly neutral fence and tent combination that serves as a background and went to work.

For obvious reasons, this woman caught my eye and she was more than happy to pose. That was a relief. I'd have been bummed if she'd said no. While shooting, I was worried about the sunlight on her hair but that proved a non-issue in Lightroom.

It was my first portrait session of the trip and of the dozen or so folks I shot that morning, she's my favorite. I'll upload more to my Flickr steam later.

She's beautiful and it's a lovely portrait. Were her eyes really that bright or are they enhanced a little? Love her pretty hair!

I asked you before but guess you're busy - do you charge for portraits and how much, on the street and how do you get the portrait to them? What are the practicalities in other words - I want to do it!

That's a come hither stare if ever I've seen one Cuz ( and you know I've seen a few ) I hope you did the right thing.

If not tell her you've got a cousin that wants to meet her. Tell her it's all good.

Peace
