This is Eliana White, a friend I've had for 6 years. In the first photo I focused on using natural light and carnival colors to complement her. The second photo is placed in a dining room with less natural light and a more enclosed "home" feel. Some challenges I faced in taking the first photo was the wind, I had to make sure her hair wasn't a distraction to the viewer with it flying around. The second photos challenges were getting decent light that could complement the environment. To make sure the picture was pleasing to the viewer, I used rule of thirds and selective focus to take these pictures.
