Courtney's Graduation

[fractal]

My niece graduated High School and I was called into service to take photos. Due to social distancing my sister had to reserve a time slot for the school grounds.
Would have preferred a bit later for softer lighting but I found some shaded areas that worked well.

I'd say Uncle Chris done a good job.

Was it a hard choice 85 vs 55 for the lens?

I swapped the lenses based on how much room I had to work and how much I wanted to blur the background. Typically I use the 85 for a vast majority if not all shots but the 55 came in handy in the tighter areas.

Beautiful girl ..... did you use fill flash or a reflector in these. I never manage to get Lucy to look up and her face is always shaded so thinking maybe about conquering flash!

I used my flash. I didn't have my stand and umbrella so it was all on camera.
