A Handful of Leaves

This Sunday afternoon I met up with Emilia Storck and Veronika Rozanoff for a ballet photoshoot. We wanted to capture the autumn colours of the landscape, so headed out into the woods behind the Royal Institute of Technology. I had brought my 200mm lens, and a tripod with me, which meant that we were on the look out for open places with enough distance, and with some orange leaves in the background.

Emilia Storck. We found this patch of sunlight, and had a few minutes to photograph there before it moved on.

Veronika Rozanoff. Here we wanted to create a moodier photo.

Veronika Rozanoff. By shooting in the last rays of sunlight we could make Veronika stand out against a darker background.

A big thank you to Emilia and Veronika for a fun autumn photoshoot!
