I shot this on a Nikon D750 in August of 2015. Ashley was someone I knew from high school and she wanted to do some photos. She has a partial native american background and she wanted to have a theme. This was actually the flag i had hanging in my office. We did a series of different poses and looks but this one came together at the right time. The sun was going down and I was using a speedlight & softbox to light her. I asked her to work with the flag and move it all around. I love the way the light hits the flag and the headdress. This is still one of my favorite images today.
Exposure 50mm
ƒ/9
1/160s
ISO 200
I now shoot with a Nikon D500 and have many more lenses.
