Sonya Girl

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.

Mystery Woman

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.

Beautiful Smile

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.

Elegant Lines

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.

Grace in Motion

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.
