I chose this picture, because it is very dramatic and beautiful. The harsh lighting mixed with the blue tones of the backround really emphasize this picture. Like Dirk Franke's style of photography, it really brings out her inner beauty, since the light is so bright on her face. The way her hair is blowing brings movement to this photograph. I really like this photograph, because it shows how simple beauty can be so powerful.
“My advice to young shooters is always the same: Know your equipment inside out! Only if you’re completely familiar with your camera and your gear can you turn your imagination into photographs. Your camera should be the extension of your mind."
