Lena Dancer blue skies (Patreon)

I shot with Lena Dancer in October, and we were graced with one of the last warm days and beautiful skies, so of course, we made the most of that. This set is from some rolled-up bales where Lean is doing fantastic shapes.

Light clouds slightly diffused the sun, but the main challenge here was getting them to be of equal contrast: Some had a lot of native contrast, and some had much less due to more diffusion. The light cover on the bales reflects a lot of light, so there is also a great deal of difference between the top and bottom of Lena on some of them.

I would argue that without good photoshop skills these just wouldn’t work.
