About the image

Cosplay shoot (LOTR Arwen) taken at Union Station (St Louis) on the East Patio/Balcony. This was taken in the late afternoon when the sun is coming in just right through the sky lights. The sun was behind me and to the right, coming in through the sky lights but also coming through the other sky lights behind me, and left, creating a soft diffused fill. There was also natural light coming in through the exit doors behind/right of Blaire/Arwen. It added to that Elven glow :) I don’t normally do natural light, but when it’s perfect and beautiful, you gotta go for it. The photo with BTS shot shows that light coming through behind her in a different pose.
