1 of a 4 Part series of photos themed to match a local dance studio’s Competition dance routine. I really had to plan my shots carefully in advance. These are youth dancers, so I only had A small window of time during their scheduled dance practice to get the shots needed for their portraits. Also, the entire series of images were edited using ONLY Photoshop for the iPad. The iPad version of Photoshop does not have all of the bells and whistle‘s, but as the app continues to improve I am learning each new feature as it’s added. In time I hope to consider myself an iPad Photoshop expert.

The thing that I’m most proud about this image is the highlights behind her head and across her arms and shoulders. I knew I wanted to have lightning streaking across the sky behind her, and I knew that there would be fire around her feet, so I photographed her using two strip soft boxes pointing up from below and directly behind her head across her shoulders. I know that all the green fire around her would probably be casting more green onto her skin, but I still needed to keep her looking pretty for her moms sake, so turning her completely green was out of the question. 😅

Someone gave me a 1 star. Lol.
Yeah. This is a “snap shot”.
Not even worthy of the portfolio. Absolutely no one would want to hire me to do a portrait like this for THEIR kid.😉🤣
