Getting in close
At first glance, it seems that the camera has
zoomed in on the model. in fact, i was changing
my position in relation to her. At first i shot her
from a high angle to emphasize her vulnerable
position, but the large image, taken from ground
level, is by far the strongest. the wide angle
allows the viewer into the scene, and the glow
of the sunlight on her arm embodies the intensity
of her (presumed) state of mind.
