This is probably my favorite people shot that I've produced. A friend from work was kind enough to bring her daughter along, and model some stock situations for me in a neighborhood park. I supplied the props which included this awesome sunflower that obviously captivated the little girl. I am still moved by the emotion implied in this scene between mother, daughter, and nature. The scene was shot on color slide film, scanned onto Kodak Photo CD, opened in Photoshop, foreground masked, and background desaturated. I favor the look of the grey background over the green foliage. I also cloned over a small distracting element over mother's shoulder. And that's it!
