Amy’s session might rank up there as one of my all-time favorites and it’s not hard to see why! That hair and those stunning dresses and a total gung-ho approach to the fairytale princess / steampunk heroine concept her mom envisioned! It was way too hard for me to narrow down just a few favorites, so check out this large collection of highlights from her June photoshoot at the MK Nature Center and Old Idaho Penitentiary.
Partly inspired by Pixar’s Brave, the talented Rachel and I drove out to BLM lands near New Plymouth, Idaho, for a truly epic evening photoshoot of costumes, horses, archery…and horseback archery. (Some shots involving red hair or mountains or intense storms may or may not have had a little help from Photoshop. Shots involving flying arrows and capes, however, are very much real.) For more photos from this shoot, be sure to check out the Facebook album.
Talented seamstress Hannah created her own handmade rendition of one of the dresses designed for the BBC’s Merlin, and she looks like a fairytale princess in the results. And the woods of central Pennsylvania where we shot these portraits only added to the fantasy look! (For more from Hannah’s session, head over to the Facebook album.)
Enjoyed part I of this series of fantasy portraits shot by the Boise River, or the behind-the-scenes look at how a fantasy photoshop manipulation is composited? Then you’ll certainly enjoy part II of photos from the same day!
If you liked the behind-the-scenes look at how a fantasy portrait manipulation is created in Photoshop, you’re in for a treat today! Here’s the first installment in a two-part series of photos from the same warrior-princess-esque portrait session, sword and all, shot by the Boise River in Eagle a few months ago. Keep an eye out for the second part before long!
