bruce dorn made this image in a huge tree-lined pasture, which contained noth- ing but grass, a couple of curious horses, and an old settler’s wagon. he was using a Quantum Q Flash on an idC magic Slip- per with a Pocketwizard for sync, and was approximately sixty feet from the model. he continues, “the below-the-horizon sun illuminated the western sky to frame left. i made a quick decision to deny nature and moved my softbox exactly opposite of the twilight sun. i then dialed my strobe’s output to a very low setting and imagined it as my new setting sun. now the after- noon sunlight seemed to be coming from the right-rear of the frame but the ‘magic hour’ sky assured that the face remained beautifully illuminated. it’s all about bal- ance.” the image was finished with one of maura dutra’s nifty textures.
