This portrait has actually been flipped horizontally. in the original capture declines were facing to the left. Talk to almost any professional photographer that competes on the national level and they will tell you that it is best to have your subjects in the lower right-hand corner.
This space I was shooting in to create this portrait didn’t allow for the subjects to move closer to the edge of the image as there was scaffolding just in front of the subjects. In fact, support legs of the scaffolding were intruding into this image it had to be retouched out.

Beautiful light, I love the juxtaposition with the statue
Thank you so much Neil. This particular room was under construction. Hanging just in front of the faces of the subject was a thick clear plastic drape, protecting the inside of the museum from the outside elements. The light that was created by that plastic sheet would have stopped any portrait photographer in their tracks.
excellent so very beautiful, you always have the most interesting backdrops for your wonderful photography.
Thank you so much Robert. The background is one of the first things I consider before creating a portrait.
