Background info on this picture:

Ariana is the beautiful 16 year old daughter of a friend of ours. I mentioned before that I did a family portrait session with our friend and her entire family. My main camera was my Nikon D100. I also brought my Nikon F4S along for some candid black & white pictures. During that session, I only managed to get a few shots with the Nikon F4S using available light and either my 85mm or 50mm lens.

I finally finished and processed the roll of Tri-X (as you can see from my other posts).

This was my favorite of the b&w shots. Ariana was sitting on a sofa relaxing while waiting for the rest of the family to arrive between formal poses, and I couldn't help noticing her relaxed and natural expression. I quickly brought the camera up to my eye and I was able to shoot two frames. She was sitting in front of a white wall, and she was wearing a white blouse. This made for a natural high key effect, which I slightly enhanced in Photoshop by dodging the wall a bit to make it appear more pure white.
