Princess Amerah

Here's a quick sample from Saturday's photo-shoot for a side project I have been working on. The assignment is to create the images for a children's book that is coming out in 2010. The final images in the book will be processed to appear as illustrations, but I thought I'd share an unedited version here.

The lighting for this shot was a combination of ambient and artificial. To accent the sunlight coming through the window, a small square softbox was placed left of the camera to light the model's face and a silver reflector was positioned behind her.

Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 24-105 f/4L lens - 1/60 second, f/4, ISO 100

I feel like the flash is a little overdone. Too much white: there don't seem to be many midtones in this image.

...as I said, these images will be processed to appear as illustrations (fairytale-ish) when in the book. The bright lighting was intentional for the final use.

Rich,

We are continually impressed by your ability to go above and beyond that which is expected.

Thank you again for being a part of this project!

"Amerah" is the English transliteration of the Arabic word for princess. For an Arabic speaker like myself, the title reads "Princess Princess," which I found funny.
