A shot from part of a series I shot for an aspiring actress. I do not usually do headshots for actors and actress' but this lady was very persuasive. My intention was to: a) Give her an older look (she is 19) b) Give her an air of mystery c) Relay her energetic personality I planned the shoot at night using hot, localized lighting. 2 500 watt Arri's set at spot instead of wide. I shot outside in a small garden (Although I had a fan I did not need it.) The wind was just right. By dimming the arri's and slowing the shutter speed I got just enough movement blur to give the effect I was Looking for. You tell me if I have acheived what I was trying to do!

Even if you choose not to choose, you still have made a choice
