Date Uploaded: Sep 5, 2010

 Shot at the Expo at Photoshop World in Vegas. Westcott had set up four booths with lights and provided four or five models everyday for shooting. Great stuff for a guy who does not normally shoot studio, portraits or models!

This may get hammered because it is not a shot of a triangle and we all know how literal DPC voters can get. But I actually asked the model to lean the way she did to get the triangle shapes created by the black background outline and by her arms. Thought it did not hurt that the hearts were kind of triangle like but that was just a bonus that added color and interest. I hope you all get it!

Not really seeing the triangle, compositional or otherwise. Funnily enough my wife just walked towards me as I was typing this and she said "Where's the triangle" so it's not just me. Unusual and interesting shot though.
