Sleeping Angel

 

                                                                    Sleeping Angel

                        While sojourning in Patna at my brother’s house during pink winter I noticed that a four weeks old infant sleeping before me was frowning her face showing irritations as the harshly sun rays was directly hitting her face and she was feeling uncomfortable. Also due to harsh light deep shadows were created on her chicks and nose, so I asked the family members to bring a white cleaned Dhoti to cover her face, but rather covering her face I decided to cover the directly hitting the sun rays and diffused its lights and made it soft, so in this way soft and soothing filtered natural light gently started kissing her face.

                        After that arrangements suddenly the expression of the little angel changed, as she got much relief and the expressions of her face itself says that she is feeling cool, calm in a very cozy atmosphere and comfortable now. Then I decided to capture her that mood forever. I asked the family members to put a headband to her head very carefully as like to handle it with kid’s gloves, so that she couldn’t feel disturbed and uncomfortable. Just to make this picture a telling frame, I made the backdrop little bit dark, for that I used very less props.

 1. Dark green Towel for backdrop,

2. A white Dhoti for diffusing the harshly sun rays,

3. A headband just for décor.

     I didn’t use any other artificial light source to shoot this frame. I shot this frame with the help of my beloved camera Canon EOS Mark III with 100mm macro lens in natural light. So in this way I induced heartwarming reactions from all the family members.
