I see a lot of Fedora's again around, my nephew plays in a band and often wears one (and a tie--doesn't take after his father or uncle). I photographed BreAnn the other night and we did a few pictures with the hat. Even though in this picture you can barely see the hat--the attitude within the expression comes from the hat and gesturing with it. We use things like clothing and props to get our subjects into certain frames of mind--for instance if you don a leather jacket its unlikely the pictures we get will look sweet--they are more likely to look tough. This photo came about largely because of the hat and photographing in the space between BreAnn's arm and head and focussing not on her, but her reflection in the mirror. Given the florescent lighting the color was pretty much deadened so when I reduce the hue and saturation her lips and finger nails began to pop out a little. I pushed this a little further by saturating the reds and pinks. Not sure what I think of this, but for tonight it seemed good enough to post as the featured picture.
