Model, Sofia. Photographed in studio against a hand-painted canvas backdrop from Clot Studio (highly recommend). Key light - Godox AD600 Pro with their 120cm quick release parabolic softbox, placed slightly camera-left and above.

f/2.0 :: 1/100 :: ISO 100 :: Canon 5DSR with Sigma 85mm f/1.4 ART lens

Sofia was absolutely incredible. She's a dancer, gymnast and cheerleader already, so she's comfortable in front of the camera, and gave me an insane range of emotion and expression. It was definitely the most effortless child model photo shoot I've ever done, AND the most fun. She would dance and sing and spin around while we were shooting, but she did so intuitively; she was always aware of her light, and how to connect.

So many fun expressions, but this one is one of my favorites.
