Model: Carly Erin [link]
August 10, 2007
Amherst County, Virginia

This is a "new" image from a shoot I did back in 2007.

These falls are covered with vibrant green moss, and I knew I wanted to use a red-haired model for contrast. Carly Erin certainly fit the bill on that count, and has the graceful, classic lines I like. Shooting pale-skinned models in waterfalls, however, presents some technical problems. If you use a long shutter speed to blur the water, you blow out skin tones. If you expose for the skin tones, you don't get the effect of the water. After much experimentation and some creative scrimming, we finally got the right combination.

All images in my galleries are my work and I hold the copyrights to them. You may not use them in any way without my permission.
