A couple nights ago I was hired to photograph a fashion/ hair show put on by a Portland salon that's re-branding itself and the clothing boutique that shares the building with them. The clothing boutique is owned by and features designs by Portland designer Sarah Donofrio, who was a contestant on Project Runway Season 15 (unfortunately she didn't win). The hair and makeuo was done by my friend Rainblo ( Rainblo- Headshots ), who works at the salon. At one point I asked this model to step next to a window so I could get a quick headshot and detail shot of her hair, and I got this shot which is my favorite from the night. The sun had already set outside but there was still some soft dusk light coming through the window. Because the available light was very limited and I wasn't using a flash, I had to shoot with a wide aperture and got a very shallow depth of field. While I would normally want to get both eyes in focus and have a wider depth of field, I love the shot regardless and feel like the shallow depth of field gives it an interesting dreamlike feel that doesn't necessarily detract from the image. Using a speedlight in my opinion also would have killed the mood or the photo.
Anyways, I'm blabbing so here's the photo. EOS 5D Classic, EF 85mm f/1.8 set to f/2.2, 1/250th sec, ISO 800.
