This is Sonya La McCllough, an artist, designer, publisher and photographer. Heavily right brain, you might say. I shot her picture in Centennial Park in Nashville, Tennessee, primarily in open shade. I used a Sony Alpha 100 SLR and a Sony 70-300 Telephoto lens. Shutter Speed 1/160; f-5.6.
This is a very different side of Sonya; she looks as if she has a secret. This was shot indoors with mixed light – a combination of light coming in from a side window, an incandescent light and my on-camera flash bounced off a white wall. The result is side lighting. Shutter Speed 1/60; f-5.
This is my favorite picture of Sonya. Her smile is so bright and her color is so beautiful. I used my on-camera flash on this one to bring up her skin tone. Shutter Speed 1/125; f-5.6.
Meet Anna Borsos. Here she is on the grounds of the Clover Bottom Mansion in Hermitage, Tennessee wearing her Prom gown. She has the most amazing elegant lines, not to mention the most photographable face. I shot this with a Sony Alpha 100 SLR and a Sony 70-300 Telephoto lens. Shutter Speed 1/125; f-5.6.
Anna displays her beautiful shawl for all of nature to see. She is Grace in Motion. Note how the trees in the distance frame her, and the old, gnarled tree trunk offers a severe contrast to her young, elegant body. Shutter Speed 1/125; f-5.6.
Hi, everyone! Welcome to my photo blog. I will be shooting picts and journaling about my experiences. I'll include the shutter speed and f-stop with each image. Be sure to keep on clicking on "Older Posts," to see all my archived work! (Also, click on the picture, to see an enlarged view.) I hope you enjoy the blog, and perhaps even learn something you can use!
I am a photographer, digital artist and wrilter living in Nashville, Tennessee. Besides shooting portraiture, I create digital "Photomontage" in Adobe Photoshop. My digital artwork was recently in the show, "The Artist's Voice," at the Frist Center for the Arts in downtown Nashville.
I'm a single mom with a great 23-year-old son, Dillon, who keeps me forever young. Although my art and photography spiritually sustain me in many ways, my greatest passion is for the Lord Jesus Christ, to Whom I give all the glory for the photographs on these pages.
