This was one of the first shots I took that day. I knew I wanted to blow out the background completely and when I saw this location and how the sun was hitting it, I knew I wanted to shoot.
We just walked around looking for location near my house and because she is a friend, she didn't mind just walking and talking and shooting when there was something interesting.
You do really great retouching and processing, and I love your control of light. As well, I think using a shallow depth of field still takes skill to produce really beautiful results no matter the lens quality, and you really have an eye that shows your skill in all of your photos. Really great stuff.
thank you Daniel :)
