I have a photoshoot coming up this weekend with the endlessly amazing Jessalyn and I want to know what it is that you would like to see. Especially taking into consideration that this particular print, named "A Girl in Progress," seems to be popular in my shop. Without recreating an eerily similar image, I would like to be able to work within a similar theme.So here is where you come in! Leave your suggestions as a comment - you can riff on the themes or ideas in this particular print or you can come up with something totally different. But I would love to begin a discussion of what works for you in this print (and maybe what doesn't) and to talk about how those aspects or ideas could translate into other work!
Everyone who contributes a comment will receive a complimentary 4x6 print I have created for the occasion. The one person who comes up with the idea that I choose to focus on during my photoshoot will win a free 8x8 or 8x10 print from the shoot!
Alright, excited? I know I am! Let's brainstorm!
Best,
Jen

My favorite aspects of this particular photograph are the vignette and the square crop. I love her dress and the tree, and I think those two things work well together and could potentially be used again when shooting different photos, but with the same theme.
Hope that helps :) Congrats on all of the sales!
I would love to see her mostly out of the frame...just entering the blurred edges with a serene scene such as this...perhaps one shot of her entering and another of her exiting the frame. Hmmmm....
I wonder if it's something to do with the title too - the idea of being 'in progress' and on a personal journey is maybe one that appeals widely as it applies to all of us. It's certainly a thought-provoking shot.
Such great comments so far ladies! Thank you so much!

One of the things I like about this image is the repetition of forms - you get a lacing/crosshatching effect that occurs in the dress, the bench, and the tree branches. I also love the vintage feel created by the distorted field, sepia tones, and fadeout edges; the sense of melancholy contributed by the bare branches, bare shoulders, and sere grass; and the huge amount of visual texture that unites fore-, mid-, and background.
Perhaps, then, continue to think in threes. :)
