Today I began working again on a slideshow for the Miss Meadville Area Pageant of the current queen, Meredith Semon. Meredith came into the studio for some portraits and post pageant shots and I had her do a little dancing and jumping around to try to capture some of the feeling of her talent. Studio lighting is nice, but the contrived situation makes finding natural moments difficult. I liked the lines created by Meredith's arms and legs in this image, but I were to do it again I would use different lighting, more side lighting and a little less direct fill light.
