Willow and I got together for a quick, no-fuss outdoor athletic shoot at a local Chicago park. Will is a talented lifestyle, commercial, and fashion model and I love to work with her every chance I get! Shot all these in natural light, just before magic hour, with a Canon 5dmk3 and mostly a 7-200mm 2.8 Sigma lens. Happy with the results!

Working on-location with available light and minimal production is sometimes my favorite way to create. Less pressure, more fun! I was aiming for some amazing lens flare action but couldn’t get it quite right in camera, but I like what we got nonetheless. 

Ended the session with some “gritty” more fashion editorial style shots. Would like to do an entire session exploring this vibe a little more.
