Description
It all started when cousin Jeanni was trying to get a ride home from the honky tonk after her no-good fiancee Phil left her to walk home. She started thumbing a ride and finally thought up a way to get someone to stop - unfortunately for them, she thought of it right by "dead man's curve." Turned out to be a lot of fun for Jeanni so over the next 5 years she collected two Fords, a Chevy, and a Cadillac (driven by an out-of town lawyer in a suit, no less). When she married cousin Rosco, the Sheriff's Deputy, she stopped "collecting" - but the legend lives on to this day.Model is Candace.
Lighting is one large softbox high to the right (look at the shadows cast by her boot-heel) with a gridded spotlight aimed at the backdrop for emphasis. Almost no photoshop post-work except a slight flare layer to deemphasize details in her jeans.

It's a custom from american hat company. [link] I paid way way too much for it. What size is your head? I'm coming to Budapest in February, want me to bring it?

Wow, these ARE expensive hats as I see
You know, the fact unfortunately is that hats usually just don't fit me... and I don't want to ruin the illusion of how I would look in it But you're really sweet, thanks for the nice offer!
BTW, I hope you'll have a great time in Budapest and take some good shots here.

I like this. It reminds me of a classic Archie Dickens pinup.

Candace is tiny, in person. It's all how she's posed. Really. Trust me.
