I made this portrait of a neighbor’s little girl several years ago when I was still shooting film. I posed her at the opening of my garage behind a simulated window I made. The window consisted of a sheet of glass on which I glued wooden moulding pieced together as if this were a traditional wooden window. I then sprayed water from a bottle onto the glass to suggest rain. I lit my young model with a single $10 hardware light reflector and a household light bulb. I took this on tungsten-balanced film to exaggerate the blue color that came from the open shade in front of the garage (today we would just move the temperature slider to alter the white balance). I used a Mamiya RZ 67 with a 250mm telephoto. The settings were unrecorded, but I used a tripod and the film was Fujichrome Tungsten 64 transparency film.
