This was a fun experiment!
Cory was awesome to work! She was so patient with me while I tried different lighting techniques and setting changes. I think we finally figured it out.
These were two of my favs and then both of them cropped down. This is a technique I'm going to do more with sports however this can also be fun with dance, cheer, and beauty and elegance.
Stay tuned for more of this type of work :)
