Dasha................

She gave me the idea to go shoot at Governor's island. I was hoping to catch some of that abandoned-ness in the shots, and use that in her photos for the contrast with her pale skin, so when she told me there's a Jazz festival happening (and of course I love jazz..) it was a given that we'll show up there.

Photos from the festival coming up in the next post, but here's Dasha :). It was hot, she and her hubby were such troopers! They even brought picnic food with them and all in all we had a great time.

Fabulous colorful dress, full hair and a romantic nature did it all...

We actually didn't find any good "abandoned" space that day - hot and running out of time let us use one of the buildings, then we took a walk on a shore and went to Battery park city for a glass of wine in the shade and to watch sunset.

Played with soft light, harsh light, reflections off the building....

And these finished up the session nicely...

Battery park is such a fabulous place in Manhattan, I can never get enough of it, and everyone I bring there seems to not know much about it but they always find they want to come back again and again..

Have a photo-ntastic day~ ;)
