Loved working with this girl at kaiotahi beach on Saturday 25th of April. Wind was blowing, sun was out - perfect time for a photoshoot. This photograph i used the grayscale tool for it to go black and white. i really liked her outfit in all these photographs because it works with the black sand!

Beach shoot - This Photography i have decreased the highlights to bring out the colour in the sky and the wave - i have also creased the clarity to show the detail in the waves by her feet - i have also used the adjustment brush and decreased the clarity and went over her skin to soften it.
