"Saturday in the Park"

The goal in this portrait was to show the relationship between mom and daughter. They are very close and have a lot of fun together. There are trees all around and an open area of sky above and behind them. When the little girl looked up at mom she received perfect light on the mask area of her face. In this situation, moms face did not get the quality of light that the little girl did but she is not the primary subject. She is looking at the child who is reacting. The child's face is where your eye tends to go since she is the animated one. No additional equipment was used. The light is totally natural, just before dusk.
