"Smile that melts hearts"
Shot outdoors in a park. It was early February so pretty chilly (as far as UK "chilly standard" goes) but Zara chose an outdoor shoot nevertheless. She was a trooper though even in the sleeveless top (she did wear a warm jacket just off the shoulders and the frame).
I used Nikon Z5 + 85mm 1.8S and two YongNuo speedlights (one in 37 inch octabox and second one in 16inch round softbox) + 30inch reflector close to the octabox / main light.
Minimal retouch - just skin blemishes taken out as well as some of the flyaway hair plus a subtle colour grading.
Of course, the main focus was on the work with Zara and making her feel comfortable to produce a smile like that.
I know her top has a strong, colourful pattern (I wouldn't normally go for) but I think it works here as one of her choices - considering she works for Disney, often as a princess so something more interesting was fitting in this case.
I'm jealous, this is exactly what I wanted to get shots like... Wow, just wow
