Pictures like this can certainly happen if serendipity is on your side, but we all know that doesn't occur often. When i travel, I get ideas of things I'd like to shoot (from books, post cards, online articles and blogs, and from my own sense of aesthetics) and then i arrange to set up the photographic opportunities. Money is always part of the deal, of course, but usually for very little I get wonderful pictures. These three young girls in Bali are dressed as if they are going to a temple to make an offering -- something they commonly do -- but in this instance they walked down a perfect pathway with a perfect background at my direction. I chose the time of day for the soft light, I arranged their spacing, and I had them do this several times untill all the people in my photo tour group got the picture.
