If you have been to my website yet you might have discovered that I'm more for the rough, hard contrasty style of portraiture. This kids portrait is kinda exception ;) Well, it's colour, soft and shot digital, lol! The orange cast resulted in using just available lights - coming thru an orange curtain. No flash or other additonal lightsources! I just added a tad extra softness with PS - to enhance the expression.
Hey Sib! Just noticed that you came on board... Yes, this is quite a departure from your grittier stuff, but I think it is beautifully rendered. I love the glowing light, warm tones, and composition that zeroes in on the sweet expression... I also like the bright glow of her sweater, and on my monitor, nothing appears too hot at all. Artist expand their repertoire, as you are always doing... Now, I must go visit the grit...;-)...
