Inner Child

Andy Wana a portrait photographer that specializes in creative cosplay photography submitted this photo.

"I am an amateur photographer who have always wanted to try a more experimental outdoor fashion/ candid photography. With this particular shot, I wanted to capture that unforced/ candid expression whilst the model was in motion against a beautiful backdrop. I want to tell a story about finding the inner child with this one photo frame.

To achieve the fairy tale inspired atmosphere and background. I deliberately choose lots of warm colours and glow with flying dust around within her. The cloud cover makes the whole scene a lot softer too with even diffused lighting around.

The reality could not be further from what the image suggested since it was a pretty chilly winter morning in Sydney, Australia. Our shoes were sodden and we have flora and fauna all over us when the shoot is over." - Andy Wana

Equipment used:
Canon 5D MKII
Canon EF 85mm L II

Post processing:
