Superbowl Sunday. I’m sure there were plenty of amazing parties happening here, but I couldn’t wrangle up enough interest in football to make to it any of them. Instead, I decided to spend my afternoon shooting a local model in a charming little state park.
Ariele (above) had a great, quirky energy about her. Texas tough, student of the Buddha, striking features and a pixie cut. We shot for about 2 hours - posing, lighting, adjusting, tweaking - but in the final evaluation, this candid shot of her warming herself, unaware of the camera, held the most power for me.
