{ Dayton, Ohio} For 17 years I have photographed this girl. I needed a photo of a scarecrow so I dressed her up and went to a cornfield and photographed her as a scarecrow. She’s always game. We have done photos together in Times Square, San Juan Puerto Rico, to many in between including the Dayton Arcade pre completed construction. Her senior year we have made a list as a last big finale of “one shot at a location”. We have one idea and have fun with it. We HAD to do a shot in Dayton Ohio. For 12 years before moving to Florida I was always in downtown Dayton scouting and photographing its beauty with amazing people. From the river, to the Schuster Center, Oregon District, to street shots after dark on Main Street and even the Steam Plant back in the day when it an abandoned empty shell that housed homeless before it was an elite wedding venue. It was still the most grand structurally gorgeous location. Taking Ellie back just to grab a photo from one of my favorite cities that built me as a photographer. It was sentimental to fill in this project with the 27 and a street shot 🔥 Amanda ☀️
