Featured in The Woman Photographer – June 09 – thank you very much to the hosts!

This portrait of Mila (2) was taken in the back garden. Her older sister, Perrin, ran around behind her holding a black cloth to act as a ‘backdrop’ for me. In true 2 year old style, she decided today was the day that she would NOT smile, and as for looking at the camera… you can forget it. Keeping still was also not an option. So this is the end result of a frustrating shoot, but maybe the more interesting for it.

Canon 400D, natural light, pp in photoshop CS2.

    I’m sorry, TeAnne, I’m a bit slowed up at the moment… I knew your name was familiar but I’ve not been active on inspi.re for a while and forgot where I knew you from… sorry! I only stopped with inspi.re because my premium membership ran out and I’m too lazy to delete all my (hundreds of) previous entries so that I can enter some more comps… in January I plan to re-join with premium membership so that I can carry on ( : See you there!
