Memory (of a memory) of a Dream

Last Sunday morning, Marina and I were taking some pictures of Nastya, a friend of ours. She’s never really had her picture taken before beyond your casual snapshot and came in not knowing what to expect and even somewhat tense. The minute we put her in front of the camera, however, her tension went away and things got easy.

In this particular shot, I wanted to make it dreamy, to create a feeling of being in a pleasant daze. I shot it with my Bronica, covering the lens with a translucent metallic scarf and deliberately catching it with the back-light to create lots of flare.
