The use of colors in your photographs.

Use of colors in your pictures

While photographing Nathia, I took advantage of the leaves and their natural color. The leaves were hanging/hugging the white wall, which made the colors stand out even more. And very conveniently there was a gap in between the leaves where she could easily pose! I always have luck on my side! ; )

I was especially fortunate to have a range of colors, from green to red. The setup was not a distraction but sort of a frame for the model. Not much work was done to the image on Photoshop, but I did soften the colors a bit and of course re-sized and framed it with a border. The angle of the models head also worked for the picture, since she is offset to the right side of the frame facing the leaves to her right.

Taken with a Nikon D70 with available light, it was a nice surprise to see these colors this time of the year!
