Shawna is a 42 year old (at the time this photo was taken 4 years ago) mix of French and Creek Indian heritage and is simply a breathtakingly beautiful woman, for ANY AGE. Nothing is more flattering for portaiture than diffused window light, especially for a woman who is no longer in her 20's with a perfect complexion and no age lines. I placed a reflector to her left to open up the shadows some. Taken with an F4S, 85mm f/1.4 AIS and Kodak Portra, by far the best film for portraiture. The negative was scanned with a Nikon Super Cool Scan LS8000 scanner at 4000 dpi.
I thought I would throw this one as an afterthought. Although Shawna was born in the 60's she is a HUGE fan of the 50's. That is her red 1959 Ford Thunderbird that she had completely restored. She is wearing a hand made (she makes almost all of her own clothes and is very talented at it) red dress. Shot with an F2S and 105mm f/2.5 AIS with Tri-X with fill flash. We chose a 50's style diner for the location of this shoot. It was just perfect!
