I shot this with a Canon 10D set on RAW mode. Aperture f/8 , shutter speed 1/250 sec, ISO 200, with a Bowens flash unit and a huge soft box. I blackout the windows in my studio and take a couple hundred shots. I use Photoshop to open the RAW files, then rank them in File Browser. I always convert my favorite pictures to black and white because that is where I can really see the values and composition. If the values aren't right then the painting will not look right. That is why portraits taken with a flash unit built into the camera look aweful. There isn't enough value shifts to show forms in the planes of the face or body. The flash has to come from somewhere other than the camera.
It is so fun to do photo shoots with kids because throughout the shoot I let them pick the pose, and I get fun shots like this one.
