T his image was taken with Natural Window Light at my Art Studio

A friend brought me this high school student with white rimmed glasses and usual teenager attire. I set out scarves, coats, tops, and other items to create my looks. In Photoshop I lighten the places I want the viewer to look and darken the rest of the images. I find it makes for drama.

About the Maker

Claudia Peterson

My photography began in 2000. I love to do portraits, still life, and wildlife. I have a north window in my studio and so used natural window lighting, with one reflector.
In my nature photography, I use a motorized wheelchair in order to move with the birds, and when you're sitting the birds are more relaxed.
