Jane Russell

Jane Russell

Taking a break from posting stuff from last weekend’s shoot in Walton, here is the first picture of mine in awhile to run in the Red & Black.

This is Jane Russell and she’s been with the university’s recreational sports department for a really long time.

I really like how the lighting turned out in this photo, a lot of which has to do with shooting it at 8:30 am when the sun was still kind of rising.

If I could shoot it again, I’d have changed my angle a bit to get more of the Ramsey Center behind her, and I’d have asked her to cross her arms. It feels very boring, and I think having her arms crossed would add a little body language to the shot that is just missing.
