Holli "Hepburn"

After the busiest semester I needed to get in the studio and shoot for me.  I asked, Holli, a first year photography student to model for me.  I can see Audrey Hepburn in Holli because of her facial resemblance, grace, and sweet smile.  Holli has the sweetest spirit about her.  She did wonderfully.  She has been asked to model a lot lately.  She is beautiful on the outside, but it is her humble and sincere spirit that spoke to me.  That was what I wanted to focus on in this shoot.  We are not defined by what we wear, our tatoos or piercings, hair or skin color.  I chose black and white so our focus is drawn to what's important, the person.   I photographed Holli with my Canon Rebel XTI and Nikon D300.

"She Walks In Beauty..."

My sister and I have always loved the old classic movies.  When my teacher gave me the opportunity to photograph someone utilizing Hurrell's style of old Hollywood images I immediately started researching.  I asked my sister to come to the studio.  She soon discovered modeling is not easy work but, she did a great job. (I only fussed at her a little bit. lol)   Isn't she beautiful?!
Studio hot lots were used with a 24-105mm portrait lens on my Canon Rebel XTI. ISO 200.
