A few days ago Vanesa came to the studio and, as usual, we had a great session.\u00a0 While going through her proofs I noticed this image, and something about it grabbed me.<\/p>\n

It’s just a transition, it’s not a pole move or a difficult trick, it’s just a moment between two points.<\/p>\n

But I thought…<\/p>\n

What if?<\/p>\n

I rotated the image a bit, so that Vanesa was the vertical element:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That seemed right, but as a result of the rotation the corners were outside the image.\u00a0 Before sinking too much time into the idea, I quickly bumped up the brightness a bit, exported it to my editor, and filled in the corners:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yup, this just might work.\u00a0 I like the overall feel.\u00a0 The composition is nice, the corners were surprisingly easy to fill, and it’s time to do it for real.<\/p>\n

I made some more tweaks to the image.\u00a0 The sides were darkened a bit so the background was more consistent, and there’s some colour tweaking and a little more contrast on the body.<\/p>\n

Export to the editor, fill in the corners, remove some bruises, and…<\/p>\n
