Queen of the Trees

Since purchasing the Canon 5D MK III, I've found myself wanting to explore more depths of photography. What all is there that I can do? A lot. But, sadly, I am still obtaining all the proper equipment. But, I make do with what I have and try to piece together some sort of coherent photograph.

I think my favorite thing to photograph is people. It's something that viewers can easily connect with. But, sometimes that can get boring. You've got to spice it up a bit, and give the viewers some thoughts. So that is the depth of photography I'm diving into at the moment.

I've been creating concepts and scenarios in my head and coming up with ideas that I think would convey really well in a photograph. It's been difficult at times to figure out how you turn an idea into an image. So I've been easing into it. Slowly, I have been coming up with ideas and seeing how they turn out. If they turn out great, then thats awesome! If not, on to the next idea.

The idea for this week was quite simple. I wanted something earthy and regal all at the same time, but I didnt really have a clue what to do until....I had a budget. My budget? $6.

I went to Savers(thrift store) and found these really awesome golden sticks for .99 and was like, I could use that for something. So, I found an old head band and turned it into a crown. Then I went to Smiths Market Place and Purchased a brown $5 blanket, cut a ring for the neck and made it into a make-shift cloak. 


So here you go my $6.00 Photoshoot: Queen of the Trees

I would LOVE feedback, I think its helpful to see what my viewers think. Does this image say "Queen of the Trees" for you or does it say something completely different?
