Prehispanic kids
Prehispanic princess
After dinner today my son asked me to make a portrait of him. He got new glasses today, so the request was partially to get pictures with his new glasess, and partially to get a 99c app he had been checking out earlier. He gets an app whenever he models for me.
Trying to do something different I set up a mini studio in the living area and decided to do something with a Prehispanic theme, just because we’ve been to Central and South America together and have artifacts from those countries. They are wearing ahuipil (heavy wool blouse) we bought in Guatemala.
I used my new Photoflex octabox with the gold panels inside as key light. The SB800 in a small softbox acting as hair light also had a full CTO on it. I set the white balance to 3550 Kelvin in postprocessing for a warm, rich tonality.
My daughter saw the action and she wanted to be part of it - she picked some crafts we bought in Peru, and posed for me. I love these kids!!
