SC Watermelon Queen



Summers Slaton is the reigning SC Watermelon Queen. Summers and her family are old friends and it was a real pleasure to make these photos for her in preparation for the national Watermelon Pageant. These were done with a glamour style of lighting which really works well for this sort of thing. The main light is on axis with the subject and slightly above. Various reflectors and fill lights were used to minimise shadows rendering a flat yet flattering light quality.

With such good material to work with, minimal retouching is required ;O) This one was a lot of fun.
