I took these pictures using shutter setting and an ISO of 400. The shutter was on 1/3200 and an aperture of f5.6 to minimize the light that entered the camera due to the harsh sunlight that was washing casey out and overexposing my pictures. I instructed Casey to look away from the camera. She was photographed at a high point of view to make her seem smaller and more mysterious.
Tools and equipment
I used a DSLR camera from the school, and as a background she sat against the school building. No other props were used. I used the sun as a light source.
trials and tribulations
It was challenging to shoot during the time of day that we were shooting because the sun kept giving Casey racoon eyes, and if i photographed her with the sun shining on her it would wash her out too much. To fix this problem, i had Casey leaning against the school so that the sun would be casting its light across her diagonally instead of straight on. Also, the shadows cast across her face decreased the raccoon effect.
