About the Image(s)
This image was captured in July at sunrise at Lighthouse Point Park in Ponce Inlet Florida. My goal was to create a natural light fashion portrait with an editorial/lifestyle look rather than a traditional glamour image. The location is a key part of the image, so I chose to keep the sand on the model as part of the story. To me, it reinforces that the image was captured on location and contributes to the authenticity and atmosphere of the setting. Technical details: Camera and lens, Nikon Z6 III with Nikon 70-200 vr f2.8g. Exposure, 1/250, ISO 100, F2.8. Lighting, available light. Post Capture, adjustments and retouching were done in Photoshop Elements and Portrait Pro.

Mark, I appreciate that you included your goal for this image as well as the technical details. In my opinion, this is one of your better portraits. Her pose is relaxed, the lighting is perfect, in my opinion. I think you made a good decision regarding leaving the sand on her hip and arms as it ads authenticity to the scene. Well done!
