Pushing yourself creatively is what helps grow your brand. For Lafayette, Louisiana-based photographer LeeAnn B Stephan, working on this styled shoot, in collaboration with model Michelle Colón, at the Paul and LuLu Hilliard Art Museum in Lafayette was, she says, quite a departure from her wedding work and the imagery she is known for.

“I thrive in low-light situations so, for me, this was such a change from what I’m used to that it almost surprised me how much I enjoyed editing the photo,” she says. “It took me out of my comfort zone in a great way. This was the last dress of the day that we were shooting, and I was just wanting to take a beautiful photo of Michelle. You can’t stop looking at her eyes even with everything on her.”

(Shot with a Nikon D750 and a Nikon 50mm lens at f/2.8, 1/160 of a sec. and ISO 200.)
